The Victory of Islam — Page 44
THE VICTORY OF ISLAM پیش چشمان شما اسلام در خاک اوفتاد چیست عذرے پیش حق اے مجمع المتنعمين Islam has crumbled to the ground right before your very eyes; What excuse do you present before God, O ye who live in com- fort and luxury! 44 دین حق بیمارو بیکس ہمچو زین العابدین ہر طرف کفر ست جو شاں ہمچو افواج یزید Everywhere disbelief rages like the army of Yazid, While the true Faith lies sick and helpless like Zain-ul-'Abidin. مردم ذی مقدرت مشغول عشرت ہائے خویش محرم و خندان نشسته بابتان نازنین The well-to-do indulge in a life of luxury- Lounging in the company of beautiful women-joyous and عالماں را روز و شب با هم فساد merry. زاہداں غافل سراسر از ضرورت ہائے دیں Day and night the ulama engage in mutual rivalries, While the devout are completely oblivious to the needs of the Faith. طرف دیں خالی شد و هر دشمنے جست از کمیں ہر کسے از بهر نفس دُونِ خود طرفی گرفت Everyone is preoccupied in their own selfish interests, leaving the Faith unguarded, While all the enemies are pouncing on it in ambush. اے مسلماناں چہ آثار مسلمانی ہمیں ست دیں چنیں ابتر شما در جیفئہ دنیا رہیں O Muslims! Are these the signs of a Muslim that, While the Faith is in such a wretched state, you are captivated by the carcass of the world?
