Abstract

This article deals with the subject "concept of self-consciousness and the man in Iqbal's Poetry". Dr.Mohammad Iqbal was a great poet- philosopher of the east who being motivated by the poor plight of the muslim all over the world, wrote such a poetry as could rouse in them a new spirit of self-reliance and determination. For this purpose he construed a doctrine called "Khudi" ie self-consciousness or ego, which stirs up all human desires, feelings and ideals.
