Muhammad Iqbal, Khushwant Singh
Shikwa (1909) and Jawab-i-Shikwa (1913) are two of Muhammad Iqbal?s most powerful Urdu poems, reflecting on the legacy of Islam and the condition of Muslims in the modern world. Shikwa takes the form of a poetic complaint to Allah, expressing sorrow and frustration over the decline of the Muslim world, while Jawab-i-Shikwa presents Allah?s response, offering guidance and a call to renewal. These poems blend deep emotion with philosophical insight, making them enduring works of literary and spiritual significance.

Muhammad Iqbal, Khushwant Singh
Description
Though much of Iqbal's best poetry is written in Persian, he is also a poet of colossal stature in Urdu. Shikwa (1909) and Jawab-i-Shikwa (1913) extol the legacy of Islam and its civilising role in history, bemoan the fate of Muslims everywhere, and squarely confront the dilemmas of Islam in modern times. Shikwa is thus, in the form of a complaint to Allah for having let down the Muslims and Jawab-i-Shikwa is Allah's reply to the poet's complaint.
About the Authors
Sir Muhammad Iqbal (1877?1938) was a Muslim poet, philosopher, and politician born in Sialkot, British India (now in Pakistan), whose poetry in Urdu and Persian is considered to be among the greatest of the modern era. While his primary reputation is that of a poet, Iqbal is also widely regarded as a pre-eminent Muslim philosophical thinker.
Khushwant Singh is arguably India?s most popular novelist. Translator, journalist, diplomat, former Member of Parliament, editor, and historian, he is the author of Train to Pakistan, The Mark of Vishnu and Other Stories, Hymns of Nanak the Guru, A History of the Sikhs: 1469?1964, and The End of India.
