MADINAH

Here I am in the living city of light
The city of the holy Prophet
On whom beAllah’s peace and blessings
Here I am watching a bright moon
Yet, the moon brightness was dimmed by his holiness

Oh my dear indescribable Madinah!
You have given me a rare opportunity
To meet all races of mankind
All colours of homo sapiens species
All professing one faith in one God
All longing the presence of Muhammad

I witness pilgrims weeping in reverence
For his presence is worth more than anything earthly
The benefector of mankind I salute you
No one has achieved as much as you in a mere
Two decades and three years!
