MISSION NIZAMUDDIN (112.0 KiB, 100 hits)
When rises the Sun of Madina
In my heart,
At once sets
The glory of my intellect’s fort.
My eyes with Madina are awake
My face with Madina is moon-alike
A master I am in the Dotcom arena
A slave I am in the kingdom of Madina.
About me those around are crazy
But about Madina I am crazy!
For all my ills, Madina is the remedy.
Whatever be the challenge,
I am always ready.
Upon me will come no harm
When Madina is firm
In the grip of my arm.
When the loss of a friend
Has made me suffer with pain
Madina is the land
Where I can look for some gain.
About me those around are crazy
But about Madina I am crazy!
O Reader!
The ones with a heart
Need not be taught
The reason why-
From the nightingale
The Rose did part.
For the hearts pricked by the thorn of aversion
Madina is a flower blooming with affection.
All the bottles of fragrance
That I opened in life
Every book that I read
Arranged on my shelf…
About me those around are crazy
But about Madina I am crazy!
Dear One! Your patience I
Wish not to test
‘Coz dear to you is a tale that is brief.
My verdict is this
In the East and West
The influence of Madina is rife.
About me those around are crazy
But about Madina I am crazy!
O Madina! Only my soul
with me is left
That I can grant you
As the most valuable gift!
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam…
