The book “Zabur-e-Ajam” was written by:

Correct answer: Allama Iqbal. Allama Iqbal wrote the Persian poetry collection Zabur-e-Ajam, published in 1927.

Background: Iqbal wrote much of his work in Persian to reach a wider Muslim audience.

• Shibli: Shibli Nomani wrote Seerat-un-Nabi and other works.
• Sir Syed: Sir Syed Ahmad Khan wrote Asar-us-Sanadid.
• None of these: “None of these” is incorrect because Allama Iqbal is correct.

Did you know? His other Persian works include Asrar-e-Khudi (1915) and Rumuz-e-Bekhudi (1918).

Memory trick: Zabur-e-Ajam = Iqbal’s Persian Psalms.
