Song Of Despair (Iqbal's Shikwa)

                                                   Song Of Despair Part- 13

                                                          (Iqbal’s Shikwa)

                               Outsiders are sitting by the spring in our garden,

                               Enjoying the song of cuckoo with cup of wine in hand,

                               Away from this bustle are sitting Muslims in solitude,

                               Waiting for Thy divine inspiration to descend,

                               Bless Thy devotees with the taste of self realization,

                               Order the divine fire to rekindle their soul with motivation.

                                                                    

                                The vagrant Ummah is back on the road to Hijaz,

                                Self realization has inspired the Ummah to rise,

                                Every Muslim’s heart is full of humility,

                                Thy favour is prayed! Their faculties will harmonise,

                                Entire Ummah is anxious to reach its ideal,  

                                Again it is poised to pass through the ordeal.
