Justice in Exile

Thy days of glory are  past now,

Thy bank of justice is bankrupt now,

Thy people will be judged by faith now,

Thy system hath turned upside down, 

Tyrants hide behind soft faces now,

They plunder a thousand shops now,

Devastator of thousand houses now,

First they came for the marginalised,

With fear,none dare cry out!

Lo! they are afflicted in mind,

Who makes the world a hell now,

The tyrants are Yazid,the oppressed are Hussain now,

One awaited the change,that never came,

The road to liberty-only myth now,

Freedom’s steps lie broken now,

Are graveyards safe haven now?

Strange,we have not yet fallen down,

Tawakkul on Allah protects us now,

Rose shall bloom from concrete now,

Patient soul bows to Thee in reverence now,

For thou art the dispeller of black cloud!

Union with our Maker brings peace now,

At last by Allah’s mercy freedom breathes anew!
