1. Where is astronomy, law and governance
And where is algebra, geometry and philosophy

2. Where is Indian mathematics and the astrolabe
Where are the tables and charts - are there any traces

3. Other than nonsense about God the Exalted
Who created confusion

4. If the brother of a star
Can see the unseen that contains it

5. Why then does he seek provision
Like a helpless, anxious pauper

6. When this earth has already been filled
With countless buried treasures

7. By Allah, God's creation cannot contain His knowledge
