Desolate Mosque
English understanding of the Urdu language poem "Barbad Masjid" / Desolate Mosque
by Javed Javed - Cardiff, August 2008
Don’t know how many have to put the foundation (stone) of the masque yet!
How many are to collect the praises for the construction of the mosque!
Own kind (Muslim) put it on fire; no complaint to the non-Muslim
Looks like, only non-Muslim will come and listen/rectify the grievance of the mosque
Court cases, physical attacks by evil persons and in the fight for the assets possession
How the Muslims will see the flourishing state of the (new) mosque
I should tell you the Islamic rule/principle O illiterate
Assets of the mosque are never owned by a person
If the worshippers (users/sellers) of the Alcohol/Liquor, move/go away
Than, all the real Muslims will help the cause of the mosque
Get a right path; there is still a time O ignorant
O insane, your predicament of the mosque is the calamity from the Allah/God
In the day of judgement, you will not find a water to drowned yourself with shame
Get up and construct the mosque before you pass away/die
O Muslims, destroy all the man made/foreign books
You will become the strength of the steel for the mosque (Islamic Institution) with Holy Qur'an
Listen O enemy of the Muslims; Muslims will never forget,
The remembrance of the Allah/God, Muhammad (S) and the mosque from the heart
O tyrant/oppressor, if you destroy the house of Allah/Mosque, your shall be ruined
Sigh of the mosque shall hit you like the storm of the A’ ad (with which wicked people destroyed)
All the people who believe in Allah/God will stand up/rise
If, I openly tell the full report about the mosque
Have seen the humans turned into gods and being worshipped
O Javed (poet), story of the desolate mosque is continue |
