Syed Makki Madani, <br /> he is my prophet Mohammad. <br />The friend of God, full of kindness, <br /> he is the dearly beloved of all. <br /> <br />Adam, Noah, Abraham, David, <br /> Solomon, Moses and Jesus <br />all bear witness to his glory. <br />Over all their message <br /> prevails the message revealed <br /> to my prophet. <br /> <br />In him the world glimpsed <br /> the hint of God's flaming light <br />It was he who brought to this sinful world <br /> a foretaste of Heaven's delight. <br /> <br />In vain did Alexander seek <br />to find on this earth the nectar of Paradise. <br />My prophet freely distributed the same <br /> in the assembly of mankind. <br />For nothing did Zuleikha lose her head <br /> when she met the beautiful Yusuf. <br />Had she seen my prophet <br /> gladly would she have renounced the world! <br />If David could hear <br /> the honeyed words of my prophet <br />surely he would have prayed for his advice. <br /> <br />Noah's ark did not sink <br /> only because it had my prophet's blessings. <br />Jonah, swallowed by the whale at sea, <br /> continued to live, <br />and Nimrod's fire failed to kill Abraham, <br /> only because my prophet showered on them both <br /> his gracious blessings. <br /> <br />I for one have drunk deep the Quran's nectar <br />Hell I have made for ever harman for me! <br /> <br />[Original: Syed Makki Madni; Translation: Kabir Chowdhury]<br /><br />Kazi Nazrul Islam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-prophet-mohammad/
