Bal-e-Jibril ("Gabriel's Wing", 1935) is Muhammad Iqbal's second book of Urdu poems and is often counted his finest. Two parts of ghazals are followed by a section of quatrains and then the longer poems, among them "Masjid-e-Qurtuba" (The Mosque of Cordoba), "Zauq o Shauq", "Lenin" and the "Saqi Nama", several written on his travels in Spain, Italy and Afghanistan. Its subjects are selfhood, love, faith, freedom and the fate of the Muslim world.
