I was randomly reading Bang e Dara and came upon an interesting poem and it amazed me, which is named as "Patriotism". I am not a student of Iqbaliat so can't say anything conclusively on this particular topic. Would like to know thoughts of senior members. Sharing an English translation for a better understanding of some fellows, who are not well versed in Urdu language.
PATRIOTISM
(As a Political Concept)
In this age the wine, the cup, even Jam is different
The cup‐bearer started different ways of grace and tyranny
The Muslim also constructed a different harem of his own
The Azar of civilisation made different idols of his own
The country is the biggest among these new gods!
What is its shirt is the shroud of Deen (Religion)
This idol which is the product of the new civilization
Is the plunderer of the structure of the Holy Prophet’s Deen (Religion)
Your arm is enforced with the strength of the Divine Unity
You are the followers of Mustafa, your country is Islam
You should show the old panorama to the world
O Mustafaa’s follower! You should destroy this idol
The limitation to country results in destruction
Live like the fish in the ocean free from country
Renouncing the country is the way of the God’s Beloved (PBUH)
You should also testify to the Prophethood’s Truth by similar action
In political parlance country is something different
In Prophet’s command country is something different
The antagonism among world’s nations is created by this alone
Subjugation as the goal of commerce is created by this alone
Politics have become bereft of sincerity is by this alone
The destruction of the home of the weak is by this alone
God’s creation is unjustly divided among nations by it
The Islamic concept of nationality is uprooted by it
