language from Shakespeare to Iqbal
The journey of language from Shakespeare to Iqbal reflects the timeless power of words in shaping thought, culture, and society. Shakespeare, with his mastery of the English language, gave the world expressions of human emotions, complexities, and universal truths that continue to inspire generations. His words painted the depth of love, tragedy, ambition, and destiny in a way that transcended time and geography. Centuries later, Allama Iqbal carried the torch of expression in the East, using the richness of Urdu and Persian to awaken selfhood, faith, and the spirit of freedom among his people. While Shakespeare explored the drama of individual lives, Iqbal stirred the collective soul of nations. Together, they demonstrate how language, whether in the hands of a Western playwright or an Eastern philosopher-poet, becomes a force to enlighten minds and transform societies.
