almost 1/3 of the way! reading the persian of iqbal is somehow easier than trying to understand faiz's abstract urdu poems. it makes sense. iqbal's more literal, not twisting and complex. hes just presenting his concept. if i had to rate abstractness and beauty in a list, id put faiz as a more beautiful abstract poet than ghalib, and ghalib's VERY complex, but i find him easy peasy ngl https://pastebin.com/dRzN8q9M
