My tears washed away sleep from the eye of the narcissus, My passion wakened the grass and made it grow. The Gardener taught me to sing with power, He sowed a verse and reaped a sword. In the soil he planted only the seed of my tears And wove my lament with the garden, as warp and woof. Tho' I am but a mote, the radiant sun is mine: Within my bosom are a hundred dawns.

Book excerpt: Asrar-i-Khudi (The Secrets of the Self; published in Persian, 1915) was the first philosophical poetry book of Allama Iqbal, the great poet-philosopher of British India. This book deals mainly with the individual, while his second book Rumuz-i-Bekhudi discusses the interaction between the individual and society. Allama Iqbal's first collection of poetry, the Asrar-e-Khudi (Secrets of the Self) in Persian. The poems emphasise the spirit and self from a religious, spiritual perspective. Many critics have called this Iqbal's finest poetic work In Asrar-e-Khudi, Iqbal has explained his philosophy of "Khudi," or "Self." Iqbal' s use of term "Khudi" is synonymous with the word of "Rooh" as mentioned in the Quran. "Rooh" is that divine spark which is present in every human being and was present in Adam for which God ordered all of the angels to prostrate in front of Adam. However, one has to make a great journey of transformation to realize that divine spark which Iqbal calls "Khudi". A similitude of this journey could be understood by the relationship of fragrance and seed. Every seed has the potential for fragrance within it. But to reach its fragrance the seed must go through all the different changes and stages. First breaking out of its shell. Then breaking the ground to come into the light developing roots at the same time. Then fighting against the elements to develop leaves and flowers. Finally reaching its pinnacle by attaining the fragrance that was hidden within it. In the same way, to reach one's khudi or rooh one needs to go through multiple stages which Iqbal himself went through, spiritual path which he encourages others to travel. He notes that not all seeds reach the level of fragrance. Many die along the way, incomplete. In the same way, only few people could climb this Mount Everest of spirituality, most get consumed along the way by materialism. The same concept had been used by the Medieval poet and philosopher Farid ud-Din Attar of Nishapur in his "Mantaq-ul-Tair" ("The Conference of the Birds"). Iqbal proves by various means that the whole universe obeys the will of the "Self." He condemns self-destruction. For him, the aim of life is self-realization and self-knowledge. He charts the stages through which the "Self" has to pass before finally arriving at its point of perfection, enabling the knower of the "Self" to become the vicegerent of God. (wikipedia.org)

Book excerpt: Muhammad Sir Iqbal's 'The Secrets of the Self' (Asrar-i Khudi) is a profound philosophical poem that delves into the complexities of self-discovery and self-realization. Written in a poetic yet engaging style, the book blends Eastern mysticism with Western philosophy, exploring themes of identity, introspection, and personal growth. Iqbal's literary context as a prominent figure in Indo-Persian literature shines through in the intricate symbolism and deep metaphors used throughout the work, appealing to both poetry enthusiasts and philosophical minds alike. Asrar-i Khudi is a timeless piece that challenges readers to question their own understanding of the self and the world around them, inviting profound contemplation and introspection. Through his poetic verses, Iqbal invites readers on a journey of self-exploration and enlightenment, encouraging them to uncover the hidden secrets of their own existence. I recommend 'The Secrets of the Self' to anyone seeking a thought-provoking and spiritually enriching read that transcends cultural and philosophical boundaries.
