ON THE STATE OF THE WORLD'S MUSLIMS
Ah, the state of the Islamic world!
How it makes me laugh...and laugh;
While the tears inside long to gush out,
At the insults being hurled!
Enmeshed in rivalries are we,
And ethnic enmity,
How can we defend ourselves,
And defeat the enemy?
This worldly life has lured us away,
From the noble aims that held a sway,
For petty gains have we sold our souls,
And have wandered far astray.
There is a fool who stares at me,
And laughs at me incessantly,
Perhaps he thinks I am the one,
Who has, in fact, gone crazy.
O God! Let not the flickering flame die,
Let Islam's glory shine once more,
It is to You I address my sigh,
May the flag of truth always fly high.
