‘Civilisation Against Fire”

By Nehal Uddin Ahmad
This strife transcends not mere land dispute,
But beyond the reach of politics’ pursuit.
A clash of civilizations, thoughts, and minds,
Where East and West are fatefully entwined.

Two worlds collide, West against East,
Their thoughts and cultures stand in conflict.
For those in the East, it’s not mere strife,
But sacred duty—embracing death and life.

Like thieves they creep, in night’s deceit,
Beneath the veil where stars retreat.
Leaders and minds, in silence slain,
No warning given, no legal claim.

A century’s struggle on hallowed soil,
Where dreams and rightful claims still roil.
They rise for justice, their truth to defend,
While tyrants pursue what none can commend

The time has come to rise by God’s will,
Not with weapons, but with faith instilled.
If intent is pure, for Allah’s grace,
Each missile turns to worship in space.

You stand for justice, steadfast, unafraid,
While tyrants rage, their hollow claims will fade.
Your missiles soar like Ababil’s divine stones,
Bringing righteous fury to the wicked’s thrones.

Though they march with technical might,
The East stands firm in inner light.
Perhaps, like Ali at Khaybar’s gate,
This too unfolds by Heaven’s fate.

This is no mere war, but a spiritual tide,
A movement that stands on the side.
It speaks against injustice, loud and clear,
Answering the call for those who persevere.

For every storm that sweeps the land,
The heart of faith will firmly stand.
Though trials rise, and shadows loom,
The East shall bloom, dispelling gloom.

The tyrant’s reign will not endure,
For heaven’s law stands ever sure.
When despots fall by God’s will,
Fairness rises, all hearts fulfill.

Injustice never holds for long its sway,
Divine decree will clear the way.
The night of tyranny nears its end,
The dawn of justice shall soon ascend.
