TOLOU ISLAM 1 - Daleel-e-Subh Roshan hai sitaroN ki Tunak taabi(A Nayyar)

TOLOU ISLAM(THE RENAISSANCE OF ISLAM)
Introduction
This is the last of the nine long poems in Bang-e-Dara. Its position at about the end of the book and immediately after Khizar-i-Rah is not incidental. Many poems in the book express Allama Iqbals frustration at the state of affairs in the Muslim world and the Muslim society in it. Khizar-i-Rah is the last such poem . Perusal of these poems creates some degree of frustration in the reader which is only temporary till he reads the next poem. Tolou-i-Islam leaves the reader filled with lasting enthusiasm produced by the message of hope contained in it, as he finishes the serious part of the book.

The poem was written in the early 1920s soon after World War 1, and deals with the aftermath of that war with respect to the Muslims. Though it deals with the defeat and dismemberment of the `Uthmaniyah Khalifah into small secular nation states and complete subjugation of these states by the Western Christian powers at the end of the war, it brings the good news of hope and encouragement. It consists of nine stanzas, each with a different cadence and covers the following subjects:hers is first Stanza in Voice of A NAyyer.
i ll upload next stanzas in voice of A Nayyer and other singers

Translation
The fading glitter of stars is the signal of a bright dawn
The sun has risen from the horizon, the time of deep stupor is gone!

Life-blood has started flowing through the dead arteries of the East
This secret is incomprehensible to Seena and Faarabi!

The storm of the West has made the Muslim into a real Muslim
Only the upheavals of the sea bring the pearls beauty to its perfection

The Muslim is to be endowed again from the Gods Court with
Turkomans dignity, Indians intellect, Arabs eloquence

If some slumber is lurking still in the flower buds
Strike the beat harder if the taste for music is lacking

Jump restlessly in the garden, in the nest, in bowers
It is impossible to deprive mercury of its restlessness

Why should the eye used to chaste things see coat of arms
When it is able to see the valor of the Ghazi's soul!

O God, light the candle of Longing in the tulips heart
Make every speck of gardens dust a martyr searching for the Truth
