ALLAMA_IQBAL 

Allama Muhammad Iqbal is generally known as a poet and philosopher, but he was also a jurist, a politician, a social reformer, and a great Islamic scholar. People even bestowed on him the title of "Shaere-Mashriq" (Poet of the East!). It may sound strange that Iqbal never considered himself a poet as is evidenced by his correspondence with Syed Sulaiman Nadvi .

"I have never considered myself a poet. Therefore, I am not a rival of anyone, and I do not consider anybody my rival. I have no interest in poetic artistry. But, yes, I have a special goal in mind for whose expression I use the medium of poetry considering the condition and the customs of this country."
(translated from the original in Urdu; Maktoobat, Volume I, page195)

Do not look at the garden of existence like a stranger
It is a thing worth looking at, look at it repeatedly

You have come into the world like a spark, beware
Lest your ephemeral life may end suddenly, beware

Granted that I am not worthy of your Sight
You should look at my zeal, and look at my perseverance

If your eyes have been opened by the longing for Sight
Look for the foot prints of the Beloved in every lane

What angels recite is your exalted name
Your threshold is exalted, your munificence is gerneral

The stars are stable by the attraction of your Love
Your system is like the system of the sun
