Madina Munawwarah

O, Allah’s Messenger!



Your generosity is boundless, O Allah’s Messenger!
For you always grant every wish of your seeker.
From your drop flow waves of magnanimity
From your particle emerges stars of rare luminosity.
O Master of Heavenly River! You are so kind
The needs of the thirsty are clear in your mind.
People learn the art of generosity at your door
The most virtuous walk humbly on your door.
How can Earthly beings understand your grandeur
When Heavenly beings are dazzled by your splendour?
Heaven, Earth and World you feed
Who then is the host? You are indeed.
Since you are Allah’s most Beloved, yours is everything
In love mine and thine does not apply to anything.
Those at your feet hold a distinguished place
They find your feet brighter than anyone’s face.
Not a well, but an ocean I want for a start
But from your hand a mere splash contents my heart.
