I did not write this, it is from an email list.
[glow=red,2,300] Land of origin [/glow]
As you sleep in comfort Your land of origin bleeds Crying out for more than prayer beads Indeed one sixth of the Ummah is in need Of carriers of the call trained and ready Cultured and groomed to remain steady So of what use is your study If your books and notes help nobody Whilst you continue to receive your monthly pay Your brothers awaiting you feel dismay So ponder upon the blood that runs through your veins For the thought of your forefathers remains Able to create a sea change With the call that may initially seem strange To remind all of the minarets and forts built long ago Working to remove the pain, suffering and sorrow Not in vain did Tipu's blood spill Not in vain did Ghaznawi ride the winds This land will return to its true origin Not of poverty and conflict Nor of hunger and the beggar's bowl To prosperity and peace shall it return For the shade of the Quran do we all yearn With the rule of He who is not begotten Shall we beget, the dawn of a new age So don't just turn the page Think of the gardens underneath which rivers flow Which are in the grasp of all those who know Let not life in the West deceive you The gates of hell may be waiting to receive you So add your gust to the winds of change And remember the ahadith about those who are estranged
