First ever true reproduction of the original book on international stage, this book is a must have for all Allama Iqbal lovers. "Bang-e-Dara" (¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿), penned by the philosophical luminary Dr. Sir Allama Muhammad Iqbal, is not merely a collection of poems; it is a monumental edifice of thought that continues to influence and inspire generations. Written in 1924, this opus remains timeless in its examination of self, community, and the metaphysical aspects of existence. Each poem within "Bang-e-Dara" serves as a station in a grand intellectual journey that Iqbal takes with the reader, offering a meditative exploration of both existential quandaries and societal issues. The book serves as a manifesto for awakening-initially published to stir the collective consciousness of Muslims in the Indian subcontinent, its impact has now reverberated through diverse cultural landscapes. One must admire Iqbal's masterful utilization of the Urdu language, a rich tapestry that melds intricate Farsi expressions and the fluidity of local dialects. The aesthetic beauty of his verse does not overshadow the gravity of his ideas but elevates them, adding layers of complexity that invite and indeed, necessitate, multiple readings. The thematic concerns of "Bang-e-Dara" are as varied as they are profound. From individual introspection in poems like "Valida Marhooma Ki Yaad Mein" (¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿) to a communal call to action in "Tulu-e-Islam" (¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿), the spectrum of topics traversed is both broad and deeply interconnected. His philosophical prowess shines especially bright when he delves into the nature of 'Khudi,' or selfhood, and how one can navigate through the labyrinthine corridors of existence to achieve a heightened state of self-awareness and communal responsibility. In conclusion, "Bang-e-Dara" is not just a seminal work in the Urdu literary canon but also a lighthouse for individuals seeking to navigate the often murky waters of life. It serves as both a mirror and a window-reflecting our own innate potential while offering a glimpse into the boundless possibilities of human intellect and spirit. It is not an overstatement to say that to read "Bang-e-Dara" is to converse with Iqbal himself, to be in the company of a mind that has touched the zenith of philosophical and poetic thought.

Weniger Details

Sir Muhammad Iqbal, widely known as Allama Iqbal (Urdu: محمد اقبال), was born on 9 November 1877 and passed away on 21 April 1938. He is celebrated as a preeminent South Asian Muslim writer, philosopher, and politician, particularly renowned for his influential Urdu poetry, which is regarded among the greatest in the twentieth century. Iqbal's vision for Muslims in British-ruled India significantly contributed to the ideological groundwork for the creation of Pakistan.Born and raised in Sialkot, Punjab, in an ethnic Kashmiri Muslim family, Iqbal completed his B.A. and M.A. at the Government College Lahore. He then served as an Arabic lecturer at the Oriental College, Lahore, from 1899 to 1903. During this period, Iqbal wrote extensively, and his Urdu poems, including "Parinde ki faryad" (A Bird's Prayer) and "Tarana-e-Hindi" (The Song of India), remain popular.In 1905, Iqbal pursued further studies in Europe. He attended Trinity College, Cambridge, in England, where he completed a second B.A. and was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn. Subsequently, he moved to Germany, where he received his Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Munich. Upon returning to Lahore in 1908, Iqbal established a law practice but predominantly dedicated himself to scholarly works in politics, economics, history, philosophy, and religion.Iqbal's poetic achievements are most notable in works such as "Asrar-e-Khudi," "Rumuz-e-Bekhudi," and "Bang-e-Dara." Post the publication of "Asrar-e-Khudi," he was awarded a knighthood. In Iran, where he is affectionately known as Iqbāl-e Lāhorī, his Persian works are highly esteemed.A strong proponent of the spiritual and political revival of Islamic civilization, particularly in South Asia, Iqbal's series of lectures were later published as "The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam." He also played a significant political role, being elected to the Punjab Legislative Council in 1927 and occupying various positions in the All India Muslim League. His 1930 presidential address at the League's annual meeting in Allahabad was pivotal in shaping the political aspirations of Muslims in British India.Iqbal passed away in 1938. After the establishment of Pakistan in 1947, he was posthumously honored as the national poet of Pakistan. Known also as "Hakeem-ul-Ummat" (The Sage of the Ummah) and "Mufakkir-e-Pakistan" (The Thinker of Pakistan), Iqbal's birth anniversary, 9 November, was celebrated as a public holiday in Pakistan until 2018. His legacy was further extended to the Arab world through Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi's work "Glory of Iqbal."
