Dr. Allama Iqbal's Mard-e-Khuda

Allama Iqbal has used 'Mard-e-Khuda' to describe Momin, who he considers the ultimate manifestation of God. Here is a excellent verse which describe this:

Tera Jalal-o-Jamal, Mard-e-Khuda ki Daleel
Woh bhi Jaleel-o-Jameel, tu bhi Jaleel-o-Jameel

(Your glory and beauty, is manifested by the Man of God.
He is glorious & beautiful and so are You!
