طلوع اسلام
حرم رسوا ہوا پیر حرم کی کم نگاہی سےجوانان تتاری کس قدر صاحب نظر نکلے
English translation
The Haram has been disgraced by the priests’ short-sight; with what excellent insight the Tatar youth have come out!
(This refers to the damage to the Holy Land and the world of Islam in general and to the glory and sanctity of the Holy Ka‘bah in particular by the treachery of the Arabs.)
Translated by Dr M.A.K. Khalil
