THE GOOD NEWS OF THE DAWN
(1912)
When the dawn full of action arrives from the east
The silence marches off from the stage of life
The quietude of nature’s congregation ends at last
Everything presents evidence of its life at last
The birds warble on getting the message of life
In the garden flowers also put on the robe of life
O sleeping Muslim get up! You also engaged in action be
Look, the horizon has brightened up, you also busy in urgent tasks be
In the universe’s expanse a traveler like the sun be
So that the sky not producing these spots of clouds be
Pulling the dagger of sun’s ray get busy againin the fight
Again teacher of escape’s rules to falsehood’s darkness be
You are head to foot Light, manifestation makes you happy
And after being manifest spreading out is incumbent on you
Yes! On being manifest become lightning to the bat’s eye
O hidden mystery of the heart of universe manifest be!
