Rise of Islam (Iqbal's Tulu-e-Islam)


                                               Rise of Islam Part- 3

               Thy hands are the potent hands, thy words are the words of immortal God,
               Develop faith O unmindful! Thou art dominated by delusions,

               Destination of the Muslim is on the other side of the blue sky,
               Stars are the dust of the pathway of thy caravan,

               Space is transitory, man is momentary, beginning is thine, end is thine,
               Thou manifests the last message of God, thou art eternal,

                Thy existence is a decorative addition to the process of evolution,
                Thou art Abrahamical and architect of the world as well,

                By character thou art the custodian of the possibilities of life,
                As if, thou art at the test to exploit the hidden qualities of the world,

                From the world of matter for the world of eternity,
                The gift which the prophet (sal.) carried was goodness expected of thee,

                This point is clear from the history of the Ummah,
                That thou art the guardian of the nations of Asia,

                Revise the lesson of the truthfulness, the justice and the valour,
                Thou wilt be called upon to lead the nations of  world. 
           (Suggestions invited to make the above more exact)
