Zabur i Ajam Persian Psalms is a philosophical poetry book, written in Persian language Persian , of Allama Iqbal , the great poet philosopher of the Indian subcontinent . It was published in 1927 in poetry 1927 . Introduction Zabur i Ajam includes the Mathnavi Gulshan i Raz i Jadid and Bandagi Nama . There are four sections. The first two are sequences of ghazals in the classical form and the other two are single long poems. Iqbal forcefully expresses his inner convictions and urges the reader to advance himself to achieve progress and prosperity by discovering and strengthening the self. The first of the two longer poems is the Gulshan i Raz i Jadid New Garden of Mysteries . It alludes to the Gulshan i Raz, the treatise on Sufism written in Persian verse by Sa d ad Din Mahmud Shabistari. Here Iqbal poses and answers nine questions on philosophical problems such as the nature of discursive thought, of the self, and of the relation between the eternal and the temporal. The subject of the second poem, the Bandagi Nama Book of Slavery is the loss of freedom, particularly spiritual freedom, of an individual or society, and its consequent evils. It is divided into several sections and touches on the music and other arts of enslaved people, their religious tenets and the art of reconstructing free men. In Zabur i Ajam, Iqbal s Persian ghazal is at its best as his Urdu ghazal is in Bal i Jibril. Here as in other books, Iqbal insists on remembering the past, doing well in the present ... in vigour and liveliness.
