Song Of Despair (Iqbal's Shikwa)

                           

                                                        Song Of  Despair Part- 8
                                                               (Iqbal’s Shikwa)

                                   The idols talk in the temple that the Muslims are gone,
                                   They are happy that the keepers of the ka’bah are gone,

                                   From the arena of the world patrons of the camel are gone,
                                   With the Qur’an kept under armpit are gone,

                                   Infidelity is all laugh! Art Thou conscious of it?
                                   Thy tawheed is in humility! Hast Thou any regard for it?

                                   This is not a plaint! They only are affluent with wealth,
                                   Who do not even have wisdom to talk in an audience,

                                   Tragedy is this that the rewards are for the infidels, and
                                   For poor Muslims only promise of rewards for obedience,

                                   Today we have Thy grace and favour no more with us,
                                   What is the matter? Thy divine care is no more with us.

                                     (Suggestions invited for makin the above more exact.)
