Whether Indian first or Muslim first? ************ ********* ********* * Let me quench the thirst of those fools , Indian or Muslim - which first ? They ask ; With their mind in dark, and heart in dirt , They think to put me to the heaviest task . I am a Muslim , when I pray to my Lord , But my forehead graces the Indian land ; I am a Muslim , when I perform my Hajj, But I am allowed to go by an Indian hand . I am a Muslim , when with terror I am linked , I am a Muslim , when many problems I face ; I am an Indian , when I fight to seek my share , I am an Indian , when I try to compete in race . I am an ' Indian Muslim ': It is my final say , Both are real : for one, the other is not a mask ; It is foolish to know which I love the most , It is their combined glory in which I bask . ************ ********* ********* ********* * Dr. Mustafa Kamal Sherwani, LL.D.
