Iqbal’s youth possesses the qualities of the majestic bird, the eagle. He is an explorer, an adventurer, and seer. He is ambitious and strives to fly higher and higher to explore the undiscovered parts of life. He is in pursuit of intellect and creativity. Iqbal’s youth is a dynamic man who does not limit himself to material achievement and its joys and seeks innovation.
On the other hand, the Pakistani youth of today, while possessing similar traits in some areas of life, is mostly different from Iqbal’s youth. Although he is ambitious, his goals are focused on material achievement. Few have the desire to explore the world’s possibilities for the sake of knowing. But the Pakistani youth has always been influenced by Iqbal and strives to become the youth he described in his works.
