| Paradise comes second - Jaihoon The light of Ahmed when created The ray of love in cosmos was emitted The world came to know of love Since towards him did He show The cosmos saw itself in the mirror When his light shone over its shoulder Jibreel could explain the secrets of hell and heaven ‘Coz the question came from leader of worlds twin O Beloved! O Sultan of hearts Nothing in this world I gained sans your love What shall I gain in Hereafter sans your love? You are the only hope of this distracted slave Who else beside you does this Jaihoon have? No words have I for your praise Your mention makes my hair rise Here I sit to write about you Unsure of what words shall befit you My readers got used to your sweet lines It is you they seek in between the lines O Beloved! You are the honey hidden in my poetic hive You are the pearl laying deep in my sea I parted my ways from the rest To follow your path to the fullest O Mustafa! You are the champion of my dream and pride Paradise comes second when you stand beside * * * http://www.jaihoon.com/egoptics/paradisecomes.htm Notes This poem describes the admiration for the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam who is the Beloved of Almighty. Mustafa, Ahmed, Beloved: All referring to the Holy Prophet Jibreel could explain : The specific reference is to the incident of Miraj (Ascension) in which Archangel Jibreel answered the questions of the Holy Prophet on various topics. |
