دریوزہ خلافت

BEGGING FOR KHILAFAH

اردو Urdu4 versesrecitation available

This short poem is an elegant expression of ‘Allamah Iqbal’s principle that an individual as well as a nation should fight and struggle for their rightful needs and not beg others for them . This is more so for the Muslim Ummah whom the Holy Qur’an has declared as the ‘best nation’ (3:110).

اگر ملک ہاتھوں سے جاتا ہے، جائےتو احکام حق سے نہ کر بے وفائی

Agar Mulk Hathon Se Jata Hai, JayeTu Ahkam-e-Haq Se Na Kar Be-Wafai

If the territory is being lost let it be lostYou should not be disloyal to God’s commands

نہیں تجھ کو تاریخ سے آگہی کیاخلافت کی کرنے لگا تو گدائی

Nahin Tujh Ko Tareekh Se Aghi KyaKhilafat Ki Karne Laga Tu Gadai

Do you not have knowledge of history?You have started begging for the Khilafah!

خریدیں نہ جس کو ہم اپنے لہو سےمسلماں کو ہے ننگ وہ پادشائی

Khareedain Na Jis Ko Hum Apne Lahoo SeMusalman Ko Hai Nanang Woh Padshai

If we do not purchase with our own bloodSuch sovereignty is a disgrace to the Muslim!

مرا از شکستن چناں عار ناید ''''کہ از دیگراں خواستن مومیائی

“Mera Az Shakistan Chuna Aar NayedKe Az Deegaran Khawastan Moumiyai”

“I do not feel as much ashamed of being broken downAs in asking others for màmiya’a for my treatment”
