      'meaning': 'Allusion to Madd-O-Jazr-i-Islam (Rise and Fall of Islam) also known as Musaddas-i-Hala published in 1879. This book is one of the jewels of Urdu literature. It describes in detail the condition of Arabia before the advent of Islam, the virtues of Islam and the blessings it brought to the world in general and the Arabs in particular, the decline and fall of Muslims and their condition during the author’s times. It exhorts Muslims to move forward in the material as well as the ethical and spiritual world. It lays great stress on acquisition of Western knowledge, particularly of science and technology. For this reason Sa‘da is shown in this poem addressing Hala to inquire about the effects of Western education on the Muslim Youth of the Indian sub-continent to whom it was primarily addressed. As is well known Western education did much material good to these Muslims, but also distanced them from their cultural and religious heritage, which was an irreparable loss. Hala, in his reply, expresses his concern for the above unexpected turn of events as is shown in the fifth and subsequent verses.'
