Kalamullah

O how foolish I have been
blind to the clear reality
ignoring the pearls that are cradled between it’s pages
each page turn leaving you in complete awe
these are treasures that have been gathering dust on our shelves for far too long
when will we awaken from this slumber
we’re running after paper with heads of queens
when real value lies in the papers engraved with these beautiful truths
centuries have passed with it’s teachings in motion on the limbs of the faithful
not poetry or magic but greater - moving grown men to tears
reminding them of the most merciful who will protect them from all their fears
unmatched in it’s sheer eloquence and beauty
passing on it’s messages is every Muslim’s duty
living by it’s rulings is the way to salvation
standing by it’s principles means victory for this nation

  1. Masha'Allah, this is a very nice piece. I really like the descriptiveness and the image the poem put in mind when I read it.
    Jazaki Allah kayer
