نعیم صدیقی اور ’’بالِ جبریل ‘‘کا انگریزی ترجمہ

  • Dr. Jameel Asghar

Abstract

Deeply influenced by Iqbal's thought and philosophy, Prof. Naeem Siddiquee is a significant poet and author of Urdu and English language. Prof. Siddiquee having absorbed impact of Iqbal's writings, has not limited the effect to himself but he has also endeavoured to extend the spirit of Iqbal's thought to the literary segments that speak, understand and venture in English language. He translated selected sections of "Baal-e-Jabreel" in 1996; like a sage translator, he has tried to be successful in keeping the aura and spirit of the original text intact. However, at times it feels that he could not perfectly master some of the key concepts and references used by Iqbal , which result in certain gaps.
