A Textual Study of "Kuliyat e Maqatib e Iqbal vol: 2" eddited and compiled by Muzaffar Hussain Barni

Abstract

In the world of Urdu literature, the name of Allama Muhammad Iqbal does not need any introduction. The uniqueness of his works has not only earned him a prominent position in Urdu literature but has also made his name renowned at an international level. His general fame is associated with his poetry and his lectures. Apart from his poetry and lectures, Iqbal's letters are also an important medium for revealing significant aspects of his personality, which, though not on the same level as his poetry and lectures in terms of meaning and form, are still quite substantial. During Iqbal's lifetime, his letters did not gain much fame, but after his death, efforts to organize and compile these letters increased. The honor of the final compilation of his letters belongs to Muzafar Hussain Barni. The paper presented here discusses the textual reading and findings of the second volume of the Kulliyat-e-Makatib e Iqbal, compiled and edited by Muzafar Hussain Barni.
