Allah, There is no other Deity <br />Except the One Supreme. <br />Mohammad is the Prophet, <br />Of Allah, the Purest Being. <br /> <br />Affirm it at the beginning <br />O ye, who believe. <br />Not a task so daunting, <br />Only a kindly light to lead. <br /> <br />The essence of all the wisdom <br />Kalma is a boon. <br />Sans this priceless kalma <br />There is darkness at noon. <br /> <br />Forget ye not these Kalma <br />O ye heedless beings, <br />Lest thee come to grieving <br />On the day of reckoning. <br /> <br />Kalma is the bounty <br />Know it well, O faithful one. <br />The sign of the garden, <br />When your fateful journey is done.<br /><br />Syed Ahmed Shah<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/zikir-of-hazrat-azan-peer-viii/
