The Call of the Marching Bell

The Call of the Marching Bell (Urdu: بان٘گِ دَرا, Bang-e-Dara; published in 1924) was the first Urdu philosophical poetry book by the South Asian Islamic philosopher and poet Muhammad Iqbal.

The poems in The Call of the Marching Bell were written by Iqbal over a period of twenty years; the collection is divided into three parts:

The book is named "The call of the Marching Bell" [Bang-e-Dara]. It is a bell that people used to ring in old times to awaken the travelers that now it is time to move on to their next destination, this book has the same purpose to awaken the Muslims of Hindustan and remind them that this is time for them to move on. This poem helped the Muslims to wake up and know who they really are and what is their purpose.
