Kuch log Allama Iqbal kay ek shair ko aisay likhtay hain:
Royen wo jo munkir-e-shahadat-e-Husain hain
Hum zinda-o-javed ka matam nahi kertay
Allama Iqbal kay asal ashaar ye hain:
Apna koi marta hey tou rotay ho tarap ker
Per Sibt-e-Payamber ka kabhi gham nahi kertay
Himmat hey tou mehshar mein Payamber se ye kehna
Hum zinda-o-javed ka matam nahi kertay
Aansu na bahao kay ye zaib hey tum ko
Qatil kabhi maqtool ka matam nahi kertay
