محاصرہ ادرنہ

When the struggle between Truth and falsehood began in Europe; the Truth was compelled on wielding the dagger.

The dust of the Cross circled round the Crescent; Shakree became besieged in the fortress of Adrianople.

Provisions of Muslim soldiers became exhausted; the face of hope from the eye became concealed.

At last by the Turkish army commander’s orders ‘Martial Law’ was proclaimed the law of the city.

Everything was transferred to the army camp’s store; the eagle became beggar for the grain of the sparrow.

But when the Faqih of the city heard this news he exploded with anger like the thunderbolt of Toor.

‘Dhimmi’s’ wealth is forbidden for the Muslim army’; this edict was published throughout the whole city.

The army would not touch the Jews’ and Christians’ wealth; the Muslim became compelled by the Command of God!
