Iqbal on Ahl e Bayt

Strangely plain and colorful is the story of Harem,
Its beginning is Ismail, Husain the end.
----
The station of Shabbir is truth everlasting,
Ways of Kufa and Syria change from time to time.
----
Not one Hussain is in the caravan of Hijaz is found,
Tresses of Tigris and Euphrates though are lustrous still.
---
Love is the truthfulness of Khalil, fortitude of Hussain is Love,
In the battle of life Badr and Hunain are love.
---

In the Muslims heart is the name of Muhammad (peace be upon him),
All our glory is from the name of Muhammad (peace be upon him),
He slept on a mat of rushes,
But the crown of Chosroes was under his followers' feet.

He chose the nightly solitude of Mount Hira,
And he founded a nation, laws and Goverment.
He passed many a nights with sleepless eyes,
In order that the millet might sleep on Chosroe's throne.
