Who is Iqbal asks a Negro?
How can I answer?
Who was Iqbal? I don’t know either
I told him he was an Indian poet that’s all
“Thy abode is not on the dome of a palace”
“You are falcon and should live on rocks of the mountains”
These two lines was all I could say in response and left
I came home disappointed unable to answer who was Iqbal
