The Decline Of Muslims / The poetry of Iqbal in English

Though wealth and gold provide

The worldly needs of man :

But what Faqr can bestow

No wealth or gold e'er can.

If  youth of nation mine

Were jealous of their creed,

MY Qalandar's state Won't mind

Alexander's might indeed.

With ease you can divine

To something else is due :

Penury can not cause

Decline of Moslems True.

Wealth has played no part

To bring my worth to light :

My Faqr this spell has cast

The share of wealth is slight

"Zarb e Kaleem"
