Poem - Shikwah by Allama Iqbal - 1/2 (+Subtitle)

Shikwah (The Complaint) by Allama Iqbal علامہ اقبال[Part 1].

This famous Urdu poem is written in 1911 at Lahore. Here Iqbal is complaining to Allah about the condition of Muslims. He was then a Professor of Philosophy at Government College, Lahore. A year later he wrote Jawab-e-Shikwah (Response to the Complaint). Shikwa (شکوہ) is from Bang-i-Dara [1924], Iqbal's first philosophical poetry book in Urdu.

I dedicate this work to Iqbal, the great poet-philosopher of Islam.

ALL OF YOU NEED TO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LISTEN TO WHAT ALLAMA IQBAL HAS TO SAY. TALKING ABOUT EDUCATION, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU IS PATHETIC AND JAHIL. IT DOESNT MATTER WHERE YOU GET YOUR DAM EDUCATION ALL THAT MATTERS IS HOW YOU TREAT EACH OTHER.... BEWAKOOF LOGG. IDIOTS. DOOB MARO JAKE TUM SUB KAHIN....
