Poetry with translation:

Kabhi Ae Naujawan Muslim, Tadabbur  Bhi Kiya Tu Ne
Woh Kya Gardoon Tha Tu Jis Ka Hai Ek Toota Huwa Tara

O Muslim youth! Have you ever used your prudence; what was that sky of which you are a fallen star?

Tujhe Iss Qoum Ne Pala Hai Aghosh-e-Muhabbat Mein
Kuchal Dala Tha Jis Ne Paon Mein Taj-e-Sar-e-Dara

That nation has nurtured you its lap of love, whose feet had trampled the crown of Dara’s head.

Tamaddun Afreen, Khallaq-e-Aaeen-e-Jahandari
Woh Sehra-e-Arab Yani Shutar-Banon Ka Gehwara

Civilization’s formulator, creator of rules of world government was that desert of Arabia; that is the cradle of camel drivers.

Sama ‘Al-Faqru Fakhri’ Ka Raha Shan-e-Amarat Mein
‘Baab-o-Rang-o-Khal-o-Khat Che Hajat Rooye Zaibara’

The simple life was the pride they had in their deeds of glorious show.
How does the lovely face feel need of rouge and mole and art?

Gadai Mein Bhi Woh Allah Wale The Ghayoor Itne
Ke Mun’em Ko Gada Ke Dar Se Bakhshish Ka Na Tha Yara

Even in poverty those men of God were so high-minded that the rich could not avoid charity for beggar’s fear.

Gharz Main Kya Kahun Tujh Se Ke Woh Sehra Nasheen Kya The
Jahangeer-o-Jahan Dar-o-Jahan Baan-o-Jahan Aara

In short what should I tell you what those wanderers in wilderness were? They were world conquerors, world rulers, world administrators, and world adorners.

Agar Chahon To Naqsha Khainch Kar Alfaz Mein Rakh Dun
Magar Tere Takhiyyul Se Se Fazoon Tar Hai Woh Nazara

If I wish to present their picture in words I can, but that scene is beyond the comprehension of your imagination.

Tujhe Aaba Se Apne Koi Nisbat Ho Nahin Sakti
Ke Tu Guftar Woh Kirdar, Tu Sabit Woh Sayyara

There is no standard by which to judge Yours and your father’s worth.
You utter words but they did deeds. They roamed: you stay at home.

Ganwa Di Hum Ne Jo Aslaf Se Meeras Payi Thi
Surreya Se Zameen Par Asman Ne Hum Ko De Mara

We have wasted the heritage obtained from our ancestors. The sky has thrown us down from the Thurayyah to the earth.

Hukumat Ka To Kya Rona Ke Woh Ek Aarzi Shay Thi
Nahin Dunya Ke Aaeen-e-Musallam Se Koi Chara

Why should we cry for suzerainty, as it was temporary’ there is no escape from the world’s established principles.

Magar Woh Ilm Ke Moti, Kitabain Apne Aaba Ki
Jo Dekhain In Ko Yourap Mein Tou Dil Hota Hai Seepara

But those pearls of wisdom, those books of our ancestors; by seeing them in Europe the heart is rent asunder.

"Ghani Rouz-e-Siyah-e-Peer-e-Kanaan Ra Tamasha Kun
Ke Noor-e-Didah Ash Roshan Kunan Chashm-e-Zulekhara”

O Ghani*, behold the darkened day Kinan’s old man once knew,
That the light of his eyes to Zuleikha’s eyes might bring the brightness of sight.

* Ghani Kahsmiri was a poet
