Muslims Do Not Have Now Poem by Mohammad Younus

Muslims do not have now,
That strength when in olden days,
Their one single man Ali,
Pulled out from the hinges...
...the door of the fortress of Khyber;
So in the battle fields when confronting...
...the Persian and Roman armies,
They would move earth and heaven;
But, still some children seem to be reborn:
With equal temper of heroic hearts,
With equal urge for performing righteous deeds,
There is no denying the fact!
We are made weak by time and drifting away,
From the mainstream of Islam,
That was, that is, that will remain...
...pure and pristine;
But، our new children now...
...joined to the roots...
...are strong in will and vision...
...to strive, to seek, to find, to regain...
...the position of pride and honour...
...in the family of nations,
They are not born to yield,
I believe!
