Zarb-e-Kaleem: 35
Shikast
The Rod of Moses: 35
Defeatism
Mujahidana Hararat Rahi Na Sufi Mein
Bahana Be-Amali Ka Bani Sharab-e-Alasst
The mystics of the present age are devoid of warriorʹs rage:
The claim that they are rapt with wine of ’Last and turn from Code Divine!
Faqeeh-e-Sheher Bhi Ruhbaniat Pe Hai Majboor
Ke Maarke Hain Shariat Ke Jang-e-Dast-Badast
The jurist has such bent of mind that makes to monkish mode inclined,
In Holy Wars take rock‐like stand, They are just combats hand to hand.
Garaiz Kashmakash-e-Zindagi Se, Mardon Ki
Agar Shikast Nahin Hai To Aur Kya Hai Shikast!
Manʹs flight from conflicts of life, or escape from its heat and strife:
If these not be abject defeat, What else is then a mean retreat?
