Hazrat Shah Abdul Qudus Qudusi.
Greetings to the
Paramount leader
Of Makkah,
Madinah and Arabia.
We love you
With heart and soul
O, one eminently
Entitled!
My heart is
Stirred by
Your magnificence
Allah, Allah
Such splendour
You do possess.
You cannot be
Compared to man
As surpass you
The universe and
Adam and of
Distinguished lineage
Are you!
On the night journey
Your flight was higher
Than the heavens
You reached
Where no other
Prophet did enter
The fruits of
The orchards of Madinah
Forever bloom
By your presence
The sweetness/enchantment of
Your status known
All over the Heavens
Manifested was your
Virtuous presence
So the Quran
May be revealed
In Arabic.
Ashamed am I
Though I only consider
Myself as your dog!
Fearing it may
Be insolent to link
Myself to the
Cur on your lane/street.
Hundreds stand
At your door
In humility and
Hope – Roomi, Toosi
Hindi, Yemeni
And Halbi.
A sinner am I
Inquire not
About my deeds
Turn towards me
Your blessed/blissful
Forgiving self
Without a reason!
We all await to
Quench our thirst
As you are the
Fountain of Life!
Turn in compassion
To us -
Unquenchable now
Is our thirst!
Bestow a Blessed
Glance upon me
O Quraishi
O Hashmi
O Muttalabi.
O my Master/Leader
You alone are
My beloved
You alone are
The healer of
My heart.
Qudusi comes to you
Desiring the balm/salve/panacea
To his pain!
