Allama Iqbal RA is also alleged of Plagiarism
Plagiarism is rightly called a menace and shameful for literary ethics and legally a persuadable crime.
On Facebook Page Inside The Pak Tea House reveals that Allama Iqal was also part of this malpractice.
I don,t know exactly and the statement can not be confirmed as now a days this a fashion to malign the national symbols and personalities. Iqbal who is national poet of Pakistan and often quoted as revolutionary poet. He is given the title of Poet of East (شاعر مشرق).


Here I Put the Iqbal famous and well read Dua prayer which is often recited on national days, sermons and morning assembly of schools.
In the text below copied from Face Book Page it is claimed that Allama Iqbal used poetic scissor on English Famous Poetess Matilda Betham Edwards (1776- 1852), a poet and daughter of clergyman.


She was also famous well known name for children poetry like Iqbal often did in his books of poetry.
علامہ اقبال کی مشہور نظم ۔۔۔۔۔لب پہ آتی ھے دُعا بن کے تمنا میری
مشہور شاعرہ میٹیلڈا بیتھم ایڈورڈ کی انگریزی نظم کا ترجمہ ہے

Hymn for a Little Child

God make my life a little light
Within the world to glow
A little flame that burneth bright
Wherever I may go

God make my life a little flower
That giveth joy to all
Content to bloom in native bower
Although its place be small

God make my life a little song
That comforteth the sad
That helpeth others to be strong
And makes the singer glad

God make my life a little staff
Whereon the weak may rest
That so what health and strength I have
May serve my neighbors best

God make my life a little hymn
Of tenderness and praise
Of faith - that never waxeth dim
In all his wondrous ways

لب پہ آتی ہے دُعا بن کے تمنا میری
زندگی شمع کی صورت ہو خدایا میری
دور دنیا کا مرے دم سے اندھیرا ہو جائے
ہر جگہ میرے چمکنے سے اجالا ہو جائے
ہو مرے دم سے یونہی میرے وطن کی زینت
جس طرح پھول سے ہوتی ہے چمن کی زینت
زندگی ہو مری پروانے کی صورت یا رب
علم کی شمع سے ہو مجھ کو محبت یارب
ہو مرا کام غریبوں کی حمایت کرنا
درمندوں سے صعیفوں سے محبت کرنا
مرے اللہ! بُرائی سے بچانا مجھ کو
نیک جو راہ ہو اس رہ پہ چلانا مجھ کو

Original Poem
A child's prayer
Language: English
God make my life a little light,
Within the world to glow, --
A tiny flame that burneth bright,
Wherever I may go.

God make my life a little flower,
That giveth joy to all; --
Content to bloom in native bower
Although its place be small.

God make my life a little song,
That comforteth the sad;
That helpeth others to be strong,
And makes the singer glad.

God make my life a little staff
Whereon the weak may rest, --
That so what health and strength I have
May serve my neighbor best.

God make my life a little hymn
Of tenderness and praise, --
Of faith, that never waxeth dim,
In all His wondrous ways.

Oye piili chaddi waleya you are genius

I am from Sialkot which school I studied there was an arts teacher named Bhutta who claimed openly that his grandfather was also a teacher of Sir Iqbal and one day Sir Iqbal stole his grandfather's whole dewan and runaway.......World is strange....

Another story Indeed true.....can be verified that Sir Iqbal during his college days used visit kotha "Brothel or dancing girls"..one day he went there and he got angry with one of the woman and he stabbed her to death but during court procedure his lawyer proved that during that time he was in college because by mistake his teacher put his attendance so that way he got bail.
