But at the same time we also find such extraordinary example of great poets who tend to ponder over the fundamental questions of humanity and thus history bestows on these poets the title of 'thinker' and 'philosopher'. Allama Iqbal is such great poet in the world of Urdu literature. His wisdom has been universally acknowledged and he has rightly earned the title of 'Hakeem-ul-Ummat'.
