شام و فلسطين
English title: SYRIA AND PALESTINE
رندان فرانسيس کا ميخانہ سلامتپر ہے م ے گلرنگ سے ہر شيشہ حلب کا
Heaven’s blessing on those brazen Frenchmen shine! | Aleppo’s rare glass brims with their red wine.
ہے خاک فلسطيں پہ يہودي کا اگر حقہسپانيہ پر حق نہيں کيوں اہل عرب کا
—If the Jew claims the soil of Palestine, | Why not the Arab Spain? Some new design
مقصد ہے ملوکيت انگليس کا کچھ اورقصہ نہيں نارنج کا يا شہد و رطب کا
Must have inflamed our English potentates; | This is no story of oranges, honey or dates.
