Allama Sir Mohammad Iqbal Radi Allahu anhu was a well educated philosopher, thinker, visionary, critic and a great Sufi and Poet, Mureed of Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi Radi Allahu anha.
In his poetry (in Farsi and Urdu) he has written a lot of things about Ahly Bait. Once some Sunni ulema got angry and came to him to ask if he has converted to Shia’ism?
Allama Iqbal wrote a poem regarding this meeting. In one of the verse he says about himself:
"hey is ki tabiat mei, taShai’o bhe zara sa."
In English:
In his (Iqbal’s) nature is also Shia’ism, a little.
---------------
Ronay wala hoon Shaheed-e-Kerbala key gham men main,
Kya durey maqsad na dengey Saqiye Kausar mujhey
I am one who weeps at the plight of the Martyr of Kerbala
Won't the reward be given to me by the Keeper of Kauser (Imam Ali alayhis 'salam
Allama Iqbal has said that the struggle between Hussain and Yazid is like the struggles between Ibrahim alayhis 'salam and Namrood and between Musa alayhis 'salam and Fir'aun.
Qatl e Husain asl me marg e Yazid he,
Islam zinda hota he her Karbala ke bad."
"Slaughter of Husain alayhis 'salam is in fact the death of Yazid,
Islam is revitalized after each event like that of Karbala."
------------------------------------
gharib o sada o rangeen he dastan e haram,
nehayat is ki Hussain , ibtida he Ismael "
Story of the family (haram) is unfortunate, simple and colorfull.
It began with Ismael and ended with Husain "
Here Allama Iqbal is refereeing to the following verse of Quran predicting Zibhin-Adheem, the Great Sacrifice of Karbala:
“And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice.” Al-Quran 37.107
Where Allah accepted the sacrifice of Ibrahim alayhis 'salam and saved his son Ismail alayhis 'salam IN EXCHANGE FOR a Great Sacrifice (Zibhin-Adheem), the slaughter of Imam Husain alayhis 'salam who was from his generation.
----------------------------------------
Na Sateeza gah-e-jahan nayi, na hareef-e-panja fagan naye..
wohi fitrat-e-Asadullahi wohe Marhabi wohi Antari
Neither are the battle grounds of the world new, nor are the opponents who are fighting.
Same are the ways of (those who follow) Allah’s Lion (Imam Ali), and same are the ways of (those who follow) Marhab and Antar (with whom he fought).
---------------------------------------
Islam kay Daman main bus is do hi to chezain hain
Ik zarbe yadullahi ik sajda-e-shabbiri
There are only and only two things which Islam have (or due to which Islam stands).. One is the striking of the Hand of Allah (Imam Ali's sword) and other is the prostration/bomage of Shabbir (Imam Hussain[as])
