تضمين بر شعر ابوطالب کليم
English title: THE POEM BASED ON A VERSE OF ABU tALIB KALIM
Your regard for the ways of the Lord of Yathrib is strange; your life is exhibiting that you are not a Muslim.
What made heavens contained in your ring’s circle? O Sulaiman (A.S.)! That jewel is lost by your negligence!
That mark of prostration which used to shine like a star; your forehead has now become unacquainted with that mark!
Just look at your actions, do you envisage that candor whose fearlessness was always wonderful.
Your ancestors’ eye was the thunderbolt for falsehood; the same falsehood is now lodged in your breast.
O negligent one come and inhabit in your abode again; the discerning Kalim is singing on the spiritual Toor.
‘You must be subservient to whom you had become rebellious: From wherever you departed like flame, turn back to it.’
تو نے جس سے بغاوت کی اب پھر اس کی اطاعت کر لے، تو جس مقام سے شعلے کی طرح بلند ہوا تھا پھر اسی پر مرتکز ہو جا۔
