This book is not a literal translation of the two poems (Shikwa and Jawaab-e-Shikwa) but a faithful rendering reflecting the original’s ethos and appeal. A Historical and Contextual perspective giving the background and current issues adds to the value of the work. It is a must-read for every Muslim, the youth especially, to understand Iqbal’s message, Learn about the Muslim past, and perceive the present situation of the world.
