In The Name Of God.

Deen Azaanen Kabhi Europe Ke Kaleesaaon Mein

Kabhi Africa Ke Tapte Huwe Sehraaon Mein.

We made our Azan’s call resound beneath proud spires in Western lands,

And made that magic melody thrill over Afric’s burning sands.

Shan Ankhon Mein Na Jachti Thi Jahan Daron Ki

Kalima Parhte The Hum Chaon Mein Talwaron Ki

The pageantries of mighty kings to us were shows that mattered not,

Beneath the shade of blades unsheathed in Kalima we glory sought.

Naqsh Tauheed Ka Har Dil Pe Bithaya Hum Ne

Zer-e-Khanjar Bhi Yeh Paigham Sunaya Hum Ne

On all men’s minds we set Your seal, Your tawhid’s firm and sure impress—

The selfsame message preached our lips when swords danced high in battle’s stress.

Tujh Se Sarkash Huwa Koi To Bighar Jate The

Taeg Kya Cheez Hai, Hum Toup Se Larh Jate The

And those who offered You affront our swift, relentless fury faced,

Their mightiest arms we set at naught, their insolence and pride abased.

Dasht To Dasht Hain, Darya Bhi Na Chhore Hum Ne

Bahr-e-Zulmaat Mein Daura Diye Ghore Hum Ne

Not only land we bore Your Word glorious across the heaving seas,

Upon our steed of zeal, we rode unto their darkest boundaries!

(Allama Iqbal)
