This study investigates the symbolic significance of two celebrated birds, Shaheen and Baaz, used in the poetry of Allama Muhammad Iqbal and Khushhal Khan Khattak. The data consists of selected verses from the Urdu Poetry of Iqbal and Pashto poetry of Khushhal. The study is significant as it reveals how the two poets have compared the dynamic qualities and good deeds of men with the Baaz and Shaheen. Moreover, it also unravels how the two poets have used the strong images of their ideal birds to propagate their didactic and revolutionizing ideologies. After thoughtful analyses, it is revealed that though these poets wrote in different times and languages, the imagery of Iqbal’s Shaheen and Khushhal’s Baaz show close similarities in their thoughts and philosophies as their aim was the reawakening of Muslims. The study concludes with the understanding that Iqbal’s concept of “Mard-e-Momin” and Khushhal’s concept of “Nangyal” are still the source of inspiration for today’s youth if they want to show their strength and vitality.
