Читать книгу Universal Anthems - Aadil Farook - Страница 15

Many great individuals have walked on this planet

Yet they couldn't claim resemblance to a prophet

One man holds such a high station

whose worth is beyond imagination

Even before entering the fold of religion

His was a story of moral perfection

But when he acknowledged Muhammad's prophethood

Between him and God, no veils stood

His later life, many biographies have captured

By his existence, God Himself was flattered

If I start counting the virtues in this special person

The dictionary runs out of words for a description

Whatever lied in Muhammad's heart was poured into his

No spiritual transformation can ever match this

When Treaty of Hudaibia aroused immense frustration

His character calmed down the critical situation

When Muhammad's tragic death made Muslims restless

Only his intervention turned them speechless

When Muslims were clueless about caliphate's legacy

His appointment gave them bliss and sanity

When Muslims witnessed the emergence of false prophets

He ordered the extermination of such Satan's puppets

When Muslims needed Quran's compilation in the form of a book

the collection of different parts of it, he undertook

In the small tenure of three months and two years

He systematized the caliphate to run the affairs

When payment of Zakat was being refused by people

He declared a holy war to turn them feeble

Arabia was divided into provinces under his administration

Scrutiny of officials was a part of his constitution

Under his rule, there was no growth of Biddah

Every act was analyzed according to Sunnah

An epitome of Quran's standard of the word, "taqwa"

On Judgment Day, he will cool down the anger of Allah

I am compelled to make this humble confession

My verses can't do justice to this human

O' Abu Bakar, you used to have admiration for poetic skill

I hope your soul accepts this small gift from Aadil!
