Narrative is any story or interpretation of a historical or current event. For example, Iqbal tells us of a narrative of Muslims, their glorious past and their downfall. He tells that narrative by the use of symbols one of which is Shaheen.
So Iqbal tells us of the story of Muslims by a symbolic narrative.
Another crass example is of Bano Qudsia's Raja Gidh in which she used a parallel symbolic narrative to the novel's story.
