Abstract

Study aims at deconstructive analysis of the poetry Bachon key nazmen(POEMS FOR CHILDREN) by Allama Muhammad Iqbal. The poems in this collection are of great importance as they do carry moral as well as universal message for the children who are going to lead the nation in upcoming years. These poems are written by Muhammad Iqbal before the partition of India. The time in which the youth was seeking guidance and poets like Iqbal played pivotal role. He made the Muslims of that era realize by addressing the youth and those messages from him are still applicable. The theme of his poetry is mainly to make Muslims realize who they are and how do they share a different heritage from other nation around that are Hindus, Sikhs and Christians. The foundation of this work is laid on the theory of deconstruction in which Jacques Derida suggested three levels of analysis i.e. textual, verbal and linguistic. The logical as well as connotative meanings employed by Iqbal would be unmasked to analyze the hidden meanings.
