THOUGH THE MOSQUE WAS BUILT  OVERNIGHT BY THE BELIEVERS

Translation
Though the mosque was built  overnight by the believers
Our heart being old sinner for years devout could not be

What a beautiful message did San�s�¹ give to King  Fai�al²
By descent you �ij�z� are, but in heart �ij�z� could no be

Though eyes become wet there is no pleasure is in this weeping
If by mixture of affliction�s blood tears pink could not be

Iqb�l is a good advisor, fascinates the heart in moments
He did become hero in talk, but one in deeds he could not be
