Tawheed - The Oneness of God, by Allama Muhammad Iqbal

Zinda Quwwat Thi Jahan Mein Yehi Touheed Kabhi

Aaj Kya Hai, Faqat Ek Masla-e-Ilm-e-Kalaam

Oneness of God has been a living force in the days bygone.

What is it these days? Merely a topic of theology.

Roshan Iss Zou Se Agar Zulmat-e-Kirdar Na Ho

Khud Musalman Se Hai Poshida Musalman Ka Maqam

If its glory doesn't make the darkness of character radiant,

Muslim cannot judge his elevated position.

Main Ne Ae Meer-e-Sipah! Teri Sipah Dekhi Hai

'QUL HU WALLAH' Ki Shamsheer Se Khali Hain Nayam

Chief of warriors, I have witnessed your array.

Their sheaths are devoid of the sword of Say: 'He is Allah'

Aah, Iss Raaz Se Waqif Hai Na Mullah, Na Faqeeh

Wahdat Afkar Ki Be-Wahdat-e-Kirdar Hai Kham.

Ah! Neither the mullah nor the faqih envisages the fact that Unity of thought without unity of action is imperfect.

Qoum Kya Cheez Hai, Qoumon Ki Imamat Kya Hai

Iss Ko Kya Samjhain Ye Bechare Do Rakat Ke Imam!

What is a nation, or how to lead it?

What clue these leaders of prayers could have of that!
