A painting inspired by the timeless poetry of Allama Iqbal, where mohabbat is not merely an emotion, but a force that connects the heart, the soul, and the universe.

I wanted to capture the feeling of love as something infinite—surrounding us, flowing through us, and drawing us back toward our deepest source. The layers of Urdu calligraphy represent the countless thoughts, verses, and emotions that gather around the central word محبت.

The deep blue and charcoal circle became a kind of visual sanctuary for the word—while the gold surrounding it reflects the warmth, illumination, and transcendence that I associate with Iqbal’s poetry.

محبت — Love.

A word. A feeling. A universe of its own.

Inspired by the poetry of Allama Iqbal.
