Omnipresent GOD : These three poets are legendary in Urdu literature as also their following couplets. The poets Ghalib (1797-1869), Iqbal (1877-1938) and Faraz (1931-2008) present their views on the universality of God in the couplets. It was not a feud. At best you can call it a poetic difference of opinion by intellectual and witty minds, spread across centuries. Ghalib started it: In the 19th century , it was a bold statement. But then Ghalib was never known for meekness or following the crowd. “Zahid, sharaab peene de masjid mein baith kar Ya wo jagah bataa, jahaan Khuda nahin” Allama Iqbal was not convinced and decided to reply about half a century later. So in the late 19th-early 20th century, his poetic reply to Ghalib “Masjid Khuda ka ghar hai, peene ki jagah nahin Kaafir ke dil mein jaa, wahaan khuda nahin” Faraz had the last word. (Later half of 19th century) . “Kaafir ke dil se aaya hun, main ye dekh kar Faraz, Khuda maujood hai wahaan, par usey pata nahin”. 😇😇😇😇# Kafir means who does not believe in Khuda. Most muslims call all non- muslims as Kafir.
