سسلي جزيرہ صقليہ
آسماں نے دولت غرناطہ جب برباد کیابن بدروں کے دل ناشاد نے فریاد کی
English translation
When the sky destroyed the State of Gharnatah; the unhappy heart of Ibn Badrën lamented.
(Gharnatah: The Arabic name for the Kingdom of Grenada, established in the southern part of Spain about 1160 and destroyed in 1492, which removed the last vestiges of Muslims from Spain. Ibn Badrën: Abu al Qasim Abd al Malik Ibn Abd Allah Ibn Badrën, the Muslim who had chronicled the history of Muslim rulers of Spain. His book was similar to Firdawsi's ‘Shah Namah’ in Persian and ‘Shah Namah-i-Islam’ by Hafiz Jalandhari.)
