Might of Islam Mosque

Now naught remains in Muslimʹs breast, His heart devoid of glint and glow: He avowed with zeal ʹNo God but He,ʹ But dead and cold the zeal for show.

The Muslimʹs state has so declined That Nature fails to know at sight, Because the slavish acts of Ayaz Have put Mahmudʹs high rank in plight.

You have withstood the ruin of Time And kept your ground as firm as rock. Constraint has turned the Muslims weak, You put them all to shame and shock.

The worship of such Muslims suits Your structure immense and so vast, Who with one breath that God is Great Find truth and lies away cast.

The Muslimʹs breast is quite bereft Of previous heat and ardour strong: His blessings, worship are devoid Of innate heat and fret since long.

His call to prayer is devoid Of lofty tones and grandeur great; O God, let this be known to him, Will you let him ʹfore you prostrate?
