The second stage deals with his legal and judicial career and his travels as a political and cultural ambassador of Pakistan.

He ends the book in the form of a letter addressed to his father inquiring as to what should be the guidelines for coming generations of Pakistanis in developing the country on the model envisaged by Iqbal and Jinnah., This book translates the autobiography of Pakistani writer, philosopher, and jurist Javid Iqbal. Including a candid look at relations with his father, the world renowned poet and visionary, who conceived the idea of Pakistan as an independent homeland for Indian Muslims, the book spans his personal experience over eighty years.
