Iqbal's vision of a new world

Sheikh Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938), Urdu poet and Muslim activist who lived in British India, is regarded as one of the great poet-philosophers of Pakistan.

There is a world still lost in our breasts,
A world still awaiting the call of “Arise!”
A world without distinctions of blood and colour,
And whose evening is brighter than the morning of the West;
A world that is purged of sultan and slave,
And is boundless like the believer’s heart;
A lovely world, whose seed was cast
Into ‘Urnar’s soul by just one blessed look
A world eternal, but with ever new adventure
Ever new the products of its Master Principles;
Its interior unafflicted with change,
Its exterior undergoing change every moment.
Such a world is inside you, look!
I will tell you about its Master Principles ...
