اقبال تیری قوم کا اقبال کھو گیا
ماضی تو سنہرا ہے مگر حال کھو گیا
وہ رعب و دبدبہ وہ جلال کھو گیا
وہ حسن بے مثال وہ جمال کھو گیا#علامہ_اقبال #9thNovember | #DeathAnniversary pic.twitter.com/enm2VBDjp2— 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐀𝐭𝐢𝐟 𝐀𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐦 (@AtifGilgiti) November 9, 2021

For those unaware, Allama Iqbal was born on 9 November 1877 in Sialkot and passed away on 21 April 1938.
Iqbal was not only a poet, but a philosopher and a visionary who envisioned an independent Muslim state that, after years of struggle, resulted in the creation of Pakistan.
During a time when Muslims in the subcontinent were in a state of disarray in the 1930s, it was Iqbal’s writings that instilled a spirit of nationalism in them, helping give birth to the idea of Pakistan.
In recognition of his services for the nation, his birthday, 9 November, is celebrated as Iqbal Day every year.
