رندان فرانسیس کا میخانہ سلامت
پر ہے مے گلرنگ سے ہر شیشہ حلب کا
Rindan-e-Faransis ka maikhana salamat
Pur hai mai-e-gulrang se har shisha Halab ka
ہے خاک فلسطیں پہ یہودی کا اگر حق
ہسپانیہ پر حق نہیں کیوں اہل عرب کا
Hai khak-e-Filistin pe yahudi ka agar haq
Hispaniya par haq nahin kyun ahl-e-Arab ka
مقصد ہے ملوکیت انگلیس کا کچھ اور
قصہ نہیں نارنج کا یا شہد و رطب کا
Maqsad hai mulukiyat-e-Inglis ka kuchh aur
Qissa nahin naranj ka ya shahd-o-rutab ka

"Syria and Palestine": three couplets asking why, if the Jews have a right to the soil of Palestine, the Arabs have none to Spain, and saying the British empire's real aim is something else.
Short quotes only (up to characters): the book stays the author’s. Line breaks are kept — good for couplets.
