Q3. Long questions (Attempt any 2 of 3 · 2 × 4 = 8)

  1. Music of the strange lands with Islam's fire blends,

    On which the nation's harmony depends;

    Empty of concord is the soul Europe,

    Whose civilization to no Makkah bends.

  2. Love's madness has departed: in

    The Muslims's veins the blood runs thin;

    Ranks broken, hearts perplexed, prayers cold,

    No feeling deeper than the skin.

  3. Faith is like Abraham at the stake; to be

    Self-honoring and God-drunk, is faith. Hear me,

    you whom this age's way so captivate!

    To have no faith is worse than slavery.
