Song Of Despair (Iqbal's Shikwa)

                                                   Song Of Despair Part- 10

                                                            (Iqbal’s Shikwa)

                            Islamic rules are gone too, Thy devoted rulers too are gone,

                            The devoted saints who prayed day and night too are gone,

                            They devoted their lives for Thee, Thou made them eternal,

                            Their time of existence and influence did not last long,

                            Thy devotees are gone with a divine promise from Thee,

                            They will never come back nor be replaced by Thee.

                            Love for Muhammed is same, heart of the Muslim is same,

                            In the arena of the world, the bustle of the Muslims too is same,

                            Core of love is same, atttraction of the beloved too is same,

                            Ummah of the prophet Ahmed is same, Thou too art same,

                            Then, this displeasure without reason is not understandable,

                            Thy wrathful rebuke to Thy devotees is not understandable.
