Muhammad Iqbal
Become dust - and they will throw thee in the air Become stone - and they will throw thee on glass.

Muhammad Iqbal
God is not a dead equation!
Muhammad Iqbal

Muhammad Iqbal
I would like to see the Punjab, North-West Frontier Province, Sind and Baluchistan amalgamated into a single State. Self-government within the British Empire, or without the British Empire, the formation of a consolidated North-West Indian Muslim State appears to me to be the final destiny of the Muslims, at least of North-West India.
Muhammad Iqbal
Why hast thou made me born in this country, The inhabitant of which is satisfied with being a slave?
Muhammad Iqbal
We have strayed away from God, and He is in quest of us Like us, He is humble and is a prisoner of desire: He is hidden in every atom, and yet is a stranger to us: He is revealed in the moonlight, and in the embrace of houses.
Muhammad Iqbal
It is absolutely certain that God does exist.
Muhammad Iqbal
I have never considered myself a poet. Therefore, I am not a rival of anyone, and I do not consider anybody my rival.
Muhammad Iqbal
I am a hidden meaning made to defy. The grasp of words, and walk away With free will and destiny. As living, revolutionary clay.
Muhammad Iqbal
