Some verses of Iqbal and Ghalib ring as if they were written only yesterday. This is perhaps one of the reasons why these two great poets of Urdu sound relevant even today and the pace with which intellectuals keep on writing books on these two masters makes one feel that the fascination with them will be there for a long time to come.
Ghalib’s poetry has an appeal of its own but the reasons for popularity and timelessness of Iqbal’s poetry have as much to do with philosophy and politics
