The Poem based on a verse of Abu Talib Kalim

Your regard for the ways of the Lord of Yathrib is strange Your life is exhibiting that you are not a Muslim

What made heavens contained in your ring’s circle O Sulaiman! that jewel is lost by your negligence!

That mark of prostration which used to shine like a star Your forehead has now become unacquainted with that mark!

Just look at your actions, do you envisage That candor whose fearlessness was always wonderful

Your ancestors’ eye was the thunderbolt for falsehood The same falsehood is now lodged in your breast

O negligent one come and inhabit in your abode again The discerning Kalim is singing on the spiritual Tur

“You must be subservient to whom you had become rebellious From wherever you departed like flame, turn back to it”
