In his poem Shaam-o-Falasteen (Syria and Palestine), included in Zarb-i-Kaleem, Allama Iqbal says:
Hai khak-i-Falasteen pe yahoodi ka agar haq Hispaniya pe haq nahin kyun ahl-i-Arab ka?
This can roughly be translated as: if Jews have a right over the soil of Palestine, why do Arabs not have a right over Spain?
So, in Iqbal’s opinion, Palestine belongs to Arabs, and if someone advocates rights of Jews over Palestine land because they were driven out of Palestine, Arabs were deported from Spain, too.
