Abstract

Allama Iqbal was the distinguished poet and thinker in 20th century. He used many literary devices to convey his thoughts. Allusion(Talmeeh) is one of them. Historical allusion is a reference, usually within a speech or a piece of writing, to people or events that have historical significance and carry certain ideas along with them. If we analyse the poetry of Iqbal , the use of historical allusion is found in most of the poems and Ghazals. In this article humble effort is made to point out the historical allusion in Iqbal's poetry through poetic examples.
