Summary: A film is about the great Urdu poet, Mohammad Iqbal. He is reminisced by
his son Justice Javed Iqbal, who says, "The centenary of AllamaIqbal, my
father, which is being celebrated in India and Pakistan shows how his
memory is still held in the two countries." Iqbal's Tarana-E-Hind or the Song
of India became the battle song of freedom. The poet sang, "Religion does
not teach us to hate each other. We are all Indians, and our homeland is this
Hindustan of ours."Gandhiji in one of his Urdu letters wrote, "I have sung
this song of Iqbal hundreds of times in jail." Iqbal was a poet of the
revolution, who penned innumerable impassioned poems during his life time,
which ended on April 21, 1938 when the sun of his glory was at its zenith.
