TARIQ'S PRAYER ( IN THE BATTLEFIELD OF ANDALUSIA)

BY ALLAMA IQBAL 

These victorious, these mysterious parishioners of yours;
to whom you bequeath godly-taste!

Who Cleaves desert-o-river in twain;
their terror turns mountain in to a mote!

They care not of both the worlds;
strange is the taste of pleasure!

Martyrdom is require-o-requisite by the believers;
neither wealth nor celebration!

Rose been waiting since long on flowers’ couch;
wanted color of Arabs’ blood!

You’ve united desert living tribes;
in thoughts, in deeds, in morning prayers!

Desire of which life needed since centuries;
that lament was found in them!

Ennobling-hearts are fully cognizant-with;
death isn’t an end of life in their eyes!

Make alive again in the hearts of Muslims;
that power; which was in the slogan of ‘La-Tazar’!

La-Tazar (Verse 26 of Surah Nuh- No. 71 – Quran)

Awaken iron-will in their hearts;
and make eyes of Muslim like a sword!
