بانگِ درا

By علامہ محمد اقبال

Bang-e-Dara ("The Call of the Marching Bell", 1924) is Muhammad Iqbal's first book of Urdu poems, arranged in three parts by the periods of his life: the years before he left for Europe in 1905, his student years there until 1908, and the time after his return. It holds nature poems and verses for children, patriotic songs such as "Tarana-e-Hindi", and the great poems "Shikwa", "Jawab-e-Shikwa", "Khizr-e-Rah" and "Tulu-e-Islam", with a section of ghazals closing each part and humorous verse at the end. Read in order, it follows Iqbal's turn from an Indian patriotism toward a larger vision of a renewed Muslim community.
