Iqbal suggested Punjab, Province of the North-West, Sindh and Balochistan ought to be combined into one province.

Muhammad Iqbal (1877–1938), often known as Allama Iqbal, was a poet-philosopher whose works revolved around the intellectual and cultural renewal of the Islamic world as well as the promotion of the philosophy of self-hood.

The Call of the Marching Bell, Gabriel’s Wing, The Rod of Moses, and a portion of Gift from Hijaz are some of his best-known Urdu compositions.

The Urdu poet Muhammad Iqbal composed “Sare Jahan se Accha,” technically known as “Tarana-e-Hindi,” as a children’s patriotic song in the ghazal literary form. The poem appeared in print in 1904.
