Allama Iqbal R.A presented a new term of "Aazan" in poetry.

علامہ اقبالؒ نے شاعری میں "آذان" کی نئی اصطلاح پیش کی۔

Call for prayer has generally been assimilated in the romantic idiom of poetry. For instance there is a well known verse: “I hear call for prayer in the dead of night, Oh the wretched got to remember God at a most unsuitable hour!” So, this type of poetry takes call for prayer in a certain way. On the other hand, Iqbal has not limited call for prayer to the clergy; Iqbal has established its relevance to the revolution brewing in the body politic of the nations. Therefore Iqbal says, “Do you know the origin of the morning that illuminates both present and future and makes the being of night tremble? It is brought to life by the call for prayer voiced out by the true believer.” Therefore Iqbal has linked the call for prayer to the ferment of revolution.
