  'text': 'It was customary in pre‑Islamic Arab poetry to write poems about the poet’s beloved. However, the identity of the beloved was not disclosed in these poems. She was represented by one of the several legendary beauties of the Arab folk‑lore. These were Salmah, Lubnah, Sulaima, Lailah etc. This poetic tradition continued and was strengthened by Islamic poets also, particularly the sufa poets. However, the difference was that God and/or the Holy Prophet S.A.W became the focus of their Love instead of humans. The tradition of using legendary beauties was also adopted by ‘Allamah Iqbal. He has usually adopted the name of Sulaima in his works. | This poem is the artistic presentation of the concept of "Wahdat al‑Shuhud ". The essence of the poem is that though the Jamal and Jalal of God is reflected in all His creation it is found par excellence in the human beauty, because Man is the master‑piece of His creation. Sulaima represents human beauty, which is a reflection of Divine Beauty as stated in the last verse of the poem.'
