Poem: The Birth of Guidance
By poet Ahmad Shawqi:
The guidance is born, and creations are lit with light…
And the face of time smiles in praise and admiration…
With the spirit and the heavenly beings surrounding him…
Bringing glad tidings for religion and this world…
The throne rejoices, and the sacred garden flourishes…
The ultimate abode and the heavenly lote tree becomes adorned…
The garden of discernment shines with every fragrant flower…
And revelation drips from the divine pen…
The names of the messengers were inscribed in the record …
For in the book, the name Muhammad bore great honor…
In the beautiful letters of the name of God…
There exists an “A” and in “Taha” a “B”…
O the best of those who brought existence, greeting to you…
From the messengers who brought forth guidance through you…
The house of the prophets, which does not meet…
Except the believers within it and the sincere…
Of the best of fathers, Adam has graced you…
Beyond all humanity, and Hawwa has honored you…
They reached the dignity of prophethood, ending in you…
Therein lies the honor blessed with greatness…
Created for your abode, while it was fashioned for her…
Indeed, the great ones deserve greatness, O noble one…
With you, Allah foretold of the heavens which became adorned…
And sweetened the world with your fragrance…
And your countenance appeared, which is truer than truth…
And its radiance is light and modesty…
Upon him is the light of prophecy, a charming radiance…
From the beloved friend, with his guidance culminating…
Christ extolled him in the heavens returned.
The virgin rejoiced and trembled with joy…
On a day that dominates time, its dawn…
And its evenings shine with Muhammad’s brilliance…
In truth, on the pinnacle of righteousness, triumphantly…
In the kingship, there shall not be a banner that exceeds it…
The thrones of the oppressors trembled in fright and were shaken…
And the echoes of their crowns soared high…
And the fire around them became empty of flames…
Its sparks quenched, and the waters flowed away…
And the signs multiplied, and miracles became plenty…
Gabriel descends with a feast and delight…
Indeed, the orphan inspired good qualities…
And the orphanage is but a provision and some intelligence…
In the cradle, life is cultivated with hope…
And with his direction, calamities are repelled…
In integrity in early youth and honesty, no one…
Among the honest and trustworthy recognized him…
O you who possesses ethics cherished by the heavens…
And those in high places yearn for it…
If you had not established a religion, it would have stood alone…
A faith lighting the way before it…
In your noble ethics, noble traits adorned you…
They entice the generous, and the kind are captivated…
But as for beauty, you are the sun of the heavens…
And the beloved’s grace is a reflection of you…
And goodness from the noble faces…
What the leaders and the prominent have not achieved…
Indeed, when you act generously, you reach the heights of giving…
And you perform what is not done by the seasons…
And if you forgive, you are both able and determined…
Let not the ignorant belittle your pardon…
And when you show mercy, you are a mother or a father…
These two in this world are the most compassionate…
And when you are angry, it is but an anger…
On the truth, without malice or rancor…
And when you are pleased, that lies in his disposition…
And the pleasure of many is merely a pretense and a façade…
And when you speak, the speakers tremble…
The dew sheds, and the hearts weep…
And when you decree, there is no doubt, as though…
The victims of the heavens came to witness your decree…
And when you guard the water, they shall not be watered even if…
The kings and emperors are thirsty…
And when you grant protection, you are the House of God, and…
Those seeking refuge will not find hostility…
And when you command your hand, you prosper…
Even if what you hold are but sheep…
And when you build, the best of spouses is your companion…
When you construct, your parents will support you…
And when you keep company, you witness loyalty manifest…
In your warmth, the friends and companions abide…
And when you take a pledge or bestow it…
All your promises are commitments and faith…
And when you walk towards your enemies, you become firma…
And when you run, you become the assured one…
And extends your patience to the rude, concealing…
Until those foolish ones find it excessive…
In every soul touched by your stature, there is awe…
And in every soul finding refuge in you, there is hope.
Poem: A Glad Tiding for This Universe When Guidance Shone
By poet Ali Al-Baitar:
A glad tiding for this universe when guidance shone…
In an era enveloped by darkness…
It was illuminated by the arrival of the world…
With shining faces, they glow…
The earth filled with beauty and festivity…
For it is as though it is a green garden…
Joyful branches spread out in its corners…
Flowing through its rivers were pleasures…
The candles of disbelief have melted, and guidance has spread…
With every pulse in the hearts, there is purity…
Today, O desert of my heart, rejoice!
For guidance is born, and the existences are illuminated…
O you who elevates your voice in joy…
Recite, for your voice is comfort and serenity…
And spread your song for our dear Muhammad…
For among feelings, there exists no secrecy for the beloved…
His breezes settled in the heart when they scattered…
The sweet scents within the soul and desires…
And the wise mind has its thoughts constructed…
And the sweetness of love surged in its waves…
Each being is a witness to its existence…
And every soul destined in love meets its end…
He is the qibla for the loving, a wellspring of their longing…
Every limb flourished with his nurturing…
They felt the warmth of the orphans in his compassion…
And the needy came seeking blessings from his generosity…
May God’s blessings be upon you, O light of guidance…
O you through whom the young bloom and bonds of brotherhood flourish…
Poem: The Dialogue of Love
This poem “The Dialogue of Love” is by the poet Ibrahim Abdel Hamid Al-Aswad, a Syrian poet born in 1952 in the city of Hijin, Syria. He is a member of the Arab Writers Union, and some of his works include “To the Wronged” and “Purple on the Edge of the Wound.”
A speaker in love; what can he say?
The love talk is a long dialogue.
The lover may falter with memory…
And become silent and startled…
With eloquence, yet from within his depth…
In stillness, his tongue reaches understanding.
So, he speaks when spoken to in softness…
And they don’t comprehend what he might say.
Roaming in the mirage of visions…
With its vibrant colors, its reds and greens, it doesn’t change…
There are no sweeter and more bitter feelings…
Than the torment that stirs moments within the ruins.
Yet he does not complain nor seek healing…
While he lingers close to his impending exit.
Don’t you see that the existence of love is fleeting for many?
Indeed, the expressions of love abound, but…
Those beneficial from them are rare.
He’s a notorious poet with companions around him…
In the gatherings for distraction, among ladies and companions, the bittersweet confusion…
Becomes apparent in the ugly display, only the fools appreciate it.
There is nothing lengthy in the depths of passion…
Or easy, or ample, or extended…
Not from the depths of love is there any semblance…
Or any sweetness, or any bliss, or any wealth.
All these are mere cesspools of indecency…
With mediums diminished in quality.
The genuine ocean of love is something…
No one will ever comprehend, yet it remains immense…
Unexplored by the great poets nor scrutinized in depth…
Yet it yields past the azure of the Tigris and the Nile.
Every ocean besides that is bitter and remains instinct…
And it’s sweet water has the taste of flow.
Every ocean invades its passengers with its ongoing waves…
But it’s steadfast and reliable, an ever-beckoning call…
Perhaps some consider this geography, an impossible demand…
But search within yourself, you will find faith…
It’s an ocean, its descriptions broaden…
And if that’s not the case, then observe closely…
In your rejection, there’s room for acceptance.
O heart, the dialogue has deep roots…
And grievances burden the heart, heavy they weigh.
The shore of memories tempts to drift…
Yet the depths will always remain daunting…
Love makes an embers, its essence burning fiercely…
Leaving traces in hidden away desires…
And love, depending on perspectives, becomes desirable, pleasurable and beautiful…
While suffering is sweet to the heart, bearable amidst the storms.
Ironically, falling in love, makes one mute, blind…
And adamant, no matter how much its accuser laments…
So hold it tightly like a handful of water…
Drink deeply from its sweetest flow…
And weep as the waves do rise against the shore…
So, leave me with my thoughts and my longing…
And the dream I perceive is what I feel.
Let me love again and again with the call…
Echoing from those who came before me.
Let each night fall, caressing its sweetness…
A symphony raised in remembrance of peace.
