THE EARTH IS GOD’S
Posted by mania | Filed under Islamic poems
WHO rears the seed in the darkness of the ground?
Who lifts the cloud up from the ocean wave?
Who drew here from the west the fruitful wind?
Who made this soil, or who that light of the sun?
Who filled with pearls of grain the tasselled wheat?
Who taught the months by instinct to revolve?
Landlord! this earth is not thine, is not thine,
Nor yet thy fathers’ ; no, not thine, nor mine.
Poem by Allama Iqbal but the translation of this poem has been taken from “Poems from Iqbal” by V. G. Kiernan.
