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

                                                       Rise of  Islam Part-8
                                        
                                 Still man is the prey of imperialistic disgrace,
                                 What a calamity! Man is preyed by man,

                                 The look is dazzled by the shine of present day civilization,
                                 But, this craftsmanship is the work of fake jewellery,

                                 That wisdom on which the western intellectuals had pride,
                                 Is the sword of battlefield in the bloody claws of lust,

                                 By the magic of statesmanship consolidation cannot take place,
                                 In the culture which is based on capitalism in the world,

                                 It is action which makes the life, heaven as well as hell,
                                 This person of dust is by nature neither heavenly nor cursed,

                                Be a tumultuous  nigtingale which makes the buds blossom,
                                Thou art like breeze of spring for this garden-land, open the hearts,

                                 Again, the spark has risen from the heart of Asia,
                                 The earth is watching the Turks in their quilted coats,

                                Rise! The oppressed mankind is anxious to hear thy message,
                                After a long time thy stars are in the ascendant, reveal the message.

                                (Suggestions invited to make the above more exact.)
