Iqbal compares a Muslim the Eagle because of its love for the action love for the liberty,self reliance,fearlessness that he repects and likes not for its frocity and lust for hunting…..
I have bidden farewell to this mundane world,
In this world eating drinking are considered as the aim of the life
I enjoy to live by myself,all alone in the wilderness,

Because fro, birth may nature has been ascetic.there is no spring breez no flower picker no nightingale,
I do not suffer from th e disease of singng the love songs,
We must stay away from the gardens and orchards,
Its actions and the qualities are always ingratiating,
The winds of the wilderness lend strength to the valiant,
And efforts of the valiant become more purposeful,
I do not long for doves and pigeons,the eagle lives the life of ascetic,
Attacking,retreating,coming back and attacking again,
These are the maneuvers for keeping the blood warm
The east and the west are all abodes of the pheasants,
My blue sky is boundless,

I am the saint of the bird world,
The eagle does not build the nest.
