  'text': 'This elegy is a tribute to the genius of Mirza Asad Allah Khan Ghalib. The poem also provides a glimpse of ‘Allamah Iqbal’s feelings of love for Delhi as an emblem of the glory of the Muslim civilization in the Indian sub-continent, which reached its zenith during the reign of Shahjahan (1592-1666, reigned 1627-58), the famous Mughal Emperor of India and the builder of the Taj Mahal. The love and pride of ‘Allamah Iqbal for the period of the glory of Muslims and Islam during the rise of the Islamic civilization, and his pathos at the decay of this civilization appear throughout his works, including Bang-i-Dara.'
