Iqbal is one of the most outstanding Muslim poets and philosophers of the Indian sub-continent. His

direct and influence the Islamic intellectual tradition in the 21st century as well. His sublime poetry and

themselves. He was very much aware of he fact that if youth of the Ummah has structured their real destiny
them they could have led the Muslims of sub-continent out of the pit of subjugation earlier than they did.
Young generation is the standard bearers of any nation. If their energy is channelized in proper
direction, it can bring sea change in the social, political and economic fabric of the nation. Keeping this
view in mind, Iqbal focused on the creative energy of the youth in his poetry.

the youth to discover and subdue new stars of originality and individuality. Moreover, Iqbal’s Noujwan is a
Man of Khudi. The absolute Khudi is infinitely creative, ‘know they self and success shall be thine’. Iqbal
