نو يد صبح
English title: THE GOOD NEWS OF THE DAWN
When the dawn full of action arrives from the east; the silence marches off from the stage of life.
The quietude of nature’s congregation ends at last; everything presents evidence of its life at last.
The birds warble on getting the message of life in the garden flowers also put on the robe of life.
O sleeping Muslim get up! You also engaged in action be! Look, the horizon has brightened up, you also busy in urgent tasks be.
In the universe’s expanse a traveler like the sun be; so that the sky not producing these spots of clouds be.
Pulling the dagger of sun’s ray get busy again in the fight | Again teacher of escape’s rules to falsehood’s darkness be
You are head to foot Light, manifestation makes you happy | And after being manifest spreading out is incumbent on you
Yes ! On being manifest become lightning to the bat’s eye | O hidden mystery of the heart of universe manifest be!
