The poet of East Allama Iqbal attended the General Islamic Conference in Jerusalem in 1931 at the invitation of renowned Mufti Amin Al-Husseini.

Allama Iqbal’s message to the Arab world was; ‘to have faith in Allah and Khudi (Ego) and not have any trust in West and the League of Nations, the earlier incarnation of the UN, which was headquartered in Geneva.

Zamana Ab Bhi Nahin Jis Ke Souz Se Farig
Mein Janta Hun Woh Atish Tere Wujood Mein Hai

(I know the fire that burns throughout your frame,
The lands of world still fear its scorching flame.)

Teri Dawa Na Geneva Mein Hai, Na London Mein
Farang Ki Rag-e-Jaan Panja-e-Yahood Mein Hai

(Your cure in Geneva or London you canʹt trace,
Wind‐pipe of Franks is gripped by Jewish race.)

Suna Hai Main Ne, Ghulami Se Ummaton Ki Nijat
Khudi Ki Parwarish-o-Lazzat-e-Namood Mein Hai

(I know that subject nations freedom gain,
If they would nourish self, display its main.)
