Site of Allama Iqbal's first poetry recital

TRANSCRIPTION:

BEGINNING OF THE LEGEND POET
ALLAMA SIR MUHAMMAD IQBAL
Iqbal started writing poetry at a young age and was posting it to Dagh Dehlavi for correction by the early years of college (the earliest surviving published ghazal comes from a late 1893 poetry magazine). A first high point was a poetry recital in Bazar-i-Hakeeman, Lahore, in 1896 where he received generous praise from Arshad Gurgani, an elderly poet of Mughal descent.
