THE JOURNEY OF A PROPHET
When the spider hurries to weave its web around the door
And the doves build its nests and lay its eggs on the floor
And the tree spreads its branches around your cave
And against the intricacies Allah spreads his slaves
Coming to give you shelter and protect you from harm
While the enemies are in every side spreading the alarm
There they kept waiting in despair around the sheltering rocks
While you were there teasing your companion from shock
And with love you kept saying “Allah is with us, don’t worry!”
While the night surges all around the cave in a hurry
What a witness of love greater than this amazing and lovely sight!
There you begin your quest for freedom late at night
A miraculous quest from the night of pains and starvation
To the dawn of freedom; towards the building of a nation
And when the rays of daylight break over the lonely night
Men and women kept waiting with eager eyes your dear sight
Singing and crying from joy Allah is great, Allah is great…
The messenger of God shone like the moon upon the land
Coming to us far away from the valleys and the sands…
O messenger of Allah you brought honour and joy over the land!
A.Siham
