Tomb of Allama Iqbal, Mausoleum in Hazuri Bagh, Lahore, Pakistan.

The rectangular structure features red sandstone walls from Jaipur and white marble from Makrana, displaying intricate Mughal architectural patterns throughout its design.

Following Iqbal's death in 1938, a committee raised funds from private contributors to construct this memorial, which took thirteen years to complete.

Six poetic couplets from Iqbal's Zabur-e-Ajam are inscribed on the interior walls, reflecting his contributions to Urdu literature and philosophy.

The mausoleum contains two entrance gates on the eastern and southern sides, with an information desk providing details about the site.

The tombstone, crafted from lapis lazuli and inscribed with Quranic verses, was a gift from the people of Afghanistan to honor the poet-philosopher.
