Poem in Praise Of Nalayne Pak

Upon this universe’s head is the sandal of Muhammad It has ascended, thus all of creation is beneath its silhouette At Tur Musa was addressed with “Cast off” whereas Ahmad Despite proximity wasn’t directed to remove his sandals A likeness representing a sandal of the noblest of prophetic messengers Wishing for the place of its dust are the loftiest stars As co-wives to it, are all the seven heavens altogether Jealous and envious, as are the crowns of kings The likeness of the sandal of the Chosen one; it has no parity For my soul it is solace, for my eye antimony How noble it is! An impression of a revered sandal For it, every head wishes it was a foot Since I realised the passage of time wages war on mortals I made for myself its master’s sandal a stronghold I fortified myself in its wonderful likeness In an impenetrable enclosure I attained in its shade, safety Verily I have served the likeness of the Chosen One’s sandal That I live in both worlds beneath its shade Ibn Mas’ud became felicitous by serving his sandal And I am felicitous by my serving its likeness Upon this universe’s head is the sandal of Muhammad (Allah bless him and grant him peace) - Imam Yusuf al-Nabahani rahimahu Llah -
