Some of Iqbal verses and poems directed to "Javed":

When he (Muhammad javed Iqbal) was abroad:

Dyare Ishq Mein Apna Muqam Paida Kar
Nya Zamana Nyae Subho Sham Paida Kar

Khuda Agar Dil-e Fitrat Shanas De Tujh Ko
Sakoot-e Lala-o-Gul Se Kalam Paida Kar

Utha Na Sheesha Graan-e Farang Ke Ehsaan
Seefaal-e Hind Se meena-o-Jam Paida Kar

Main Shaakhe Taak Hoon Meri Ghazal Hai Mera Samar
Mere Samar Se Maye-LalaFaam Paida Kar

Mera Tareek Ameeri Nahi Faqeeree Hai
Khuddi Na Baech Ghareebi Mein Naam Paida Kar

Imran Khan qouting Allama Iqbal in his book Pakistan: A personal History

1.                   Though Iqbal lived in a historical context that was different from ours in several ways, what he said remains profoundly relevant to us and to our times. In fact, Iqbal’s message is more relevant and important today than that of any other Muslim thinker of the past and present… (Page 319)

2.                   While some famous verses from Iqbal’s poems are often cited in isolation, the core message of his poetry, reflecting his revolutionary spirit, his intrepid imagination and his passionate commitment to justice and the dignity of selfhood, has been excluded from public discourse. (Page 320).

3.                   The decay and decline in Islamic intellectual thought, according to Iqbal, set in five hundred years ago when the doors to ijtihad, a scholarly debate on our religion and its tradition, were closed. (Page 326)

4.                   The third and probably most decisive factor was the Mongols’ destruction in 1258 of Baghdad – the centre of Muslim intellectual life. Had the Mongol hordes not taken over swathes of the Muslim world, our history might have been very different. (Page 327)
