Read your book on Allama Iqbal sahab, i loved it and i want you to write more on him so that here in India i can meet and know about one of my favorite Poet .I don’t think iqbal sahab is celebrated much in India so please i want you to spread the fragrance of that flower in our country.
i loved your research very much and i also request you to write on Haji Mastan, i know it sounds i bit divergent but just a wish :)
Respected Sir
Purchased your book Iqbal : The Life of a Poet, Philosopher and Politician.
Going through.
Thanks.

Janab came across you article on Faiz, Ghalib and Iqbal, it is good but you have stated, “Consider this example from his poem, “Raqeeb Se”:
“Woh log bahut khush-qismat the
Jo ishq ko kaam samajhte the
Hum jeete ji masroof rahe
Kuchch ishq kiya kuchch kaam kiya
Kaam ishq ke aade aata raha
Aur ishq se kaam ulajhta raha
Phir aakhir tang aakar hum ne
Dono ko adhura chhod diya.”
These lines are not from Raqeeb Say.
Btw, Faiz has many times used Ghalib verbatim.
