"Once Allama Iqbal went to Lucknow to attend an educational conference. It was during this trip that he chanced upon traveling in a Tanga with the famous Urdu fiction writer Syed Sajjad Haider Yildirim. Both the gentlemen reached the house of Pyare Sahib Rasheed Lakhnawi. During the conversation, Iqbal recited his famous ghazal ‘Kabhi Ai Haqiqat-E-Muntazar, Nazar Aa Libaas-E-Majaaz Men’ to him. When he had recited the entire ghazal, Pyare Sahib said, ‘Ab Koi Ghazal Urdu Mein Bhi Suna Dijiye.’ Allama Iqbal used to narrate this incident to his friends hilariously.
