Dr. Sir Muhammad Iqbal is one of the widely read, translated and interpretedpoets, born in the Indian subcontinent. He has received immense attention from both the eastern and western academia. His poetry and philosophy are complementary to each other. He has chosen the poetic genre of Urdu Nazm (an organized and compact poem) to propound his philosophy. Iqbal’s poetry, whether Urdu or Persian, offers the reader with a bouquet of philosophical inklings. The issues like the meaning of life, the position of a human being in the universe, his survival, progress and power, the existence of God, the phenomena of action, movement and time, so on and so forth are deeply embedded in his poetry. The current research paper attempts to describe and depict the picture and position of an Ideal Human Being within the scheme of things portrayed by Iqbal in his writings. He holds that an ideal being is a microcosm in whom are reflected all the attributes of the macrocosm. Iqbal pits his protagonist against other supermen projected by other acclaimed philosophers of the world.
