Bacchon aur Naujawanon ka Iqbal
100 Selected Nazams and Ghazals
Introduction to Muhammad Iqbal’s Bacchon aur Naujawanon ka Iqbal. This book is in Urdu
This carefully curated collection presents 100 poems and ghazals by Allama Muhammad Iqbal, selected especially for children and young readers. Iqbal’s poetry is not only a celebration of language and rhythm, but a call to selfhood, movement, knowledge, love, and a deeper humanism that continues to resonate across generations.
Iqbal believed that poetry was not merely for beauty or entertainment, but a powerful means of awakening the individual and the collective soul. His verses emphasize khudi (selfhood), action, faith, and the pursuit of excellence, especially for the youth, whom he regarded as the torchbearers of the future. Many of his poems for children — such as Aik Pahaar Aur Gulehri, Parinday Ki Fariyad, and Lab Pe Aati Hai Dua — have become cultural touchstones in Urdu literature. These works combine imaginative imagery with simple yet profound messages that remain relevant across generations.
To help readers progress gradually in comprehension and vocabulary, the poems have been arranged in order of increasing difficulty—starting with simpler texts and building toward more complex ones. The Urdu text includes full diacritics (zer, zabar, pesh, tashdeed), making reading and correct pronunciation easier, particularly for students and early learners. Each poem is accompanied by a glossary of difficult words and expressions, designed to assist understanding and expand the reader’s Urdu vocabulary in a meaningful way.
This edition is a thoughtful invitation to young readers — connecting them with Iqbal’s vision and voice, while nurturing their command of the language and love for poetry.
