Allama Iqbal

[Arslan]

Allama Iqbal on Belief:


1) Given character and healthy imagination, it is possible to reconstruct this world of sin and misery into a veritable paradise.

2) "I am but as the spark that gleams for a moment,

His burning candle consumed me - the moth;
His wine overwhelmed my goblet,
The master of Rum transmuted my earth to gold
And set my ashes aflame�


3)
�But only a brief moment
is granted to the brave
one breath or two, whose wage is
The long nights of the grave.�
