In Defence of My Prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
May my wealth, treasures and life,
My precious possessions acquired after toil and strife,
My very breath, my every drop of blood and more,
Be sacrificed and given for,
A single glimpse of my beloved’s face,
O Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) may I experience your wonderful grace.

I came to your shore shackled in a chain,
Wrenched from my homeland, in abject pain,
For raising my sword against invasion,
Protecting my family, my land, my nation. (more…)

One month a year, we’ve got to fast,
From dawn to dusk, first day to last.
Not eating or drinking anything,
For the poor it teaches us kindness and caring. (more…)

I live in a garden filled with love,
Birds abound, fruit aplenty on branches above.
Cultivated and tended, looked after and nourished,
Till every last petal bloomed and flourished. (more…)

Searching for a treasure, of which I saw no mark.

A brightly glowing, glittering star. (more…)

Amidst the sugar-cane fields
With horses grazing at ease
Madresa Mahmoodiyah flourishes
The teachers striving, Allah Ta’ala to please. (more…)

Ah! How I long for those light-filled days,
Amidst the blessed glow of sublime knowledge;
Surrounded by the Madresa’s nourishing rays,
A wonderfully invigorating place all acknowledge. (more…)

Stars they are, shining bright,
The Sahaaba are a source of guiding light.
Going through hardship, torture and toil,
they strove to bring islam to every shore. (more…)

In red and pink, and yellow and blue,
Flowers come in different colours and different shapes too.
Some are muti-coloured, others shaped like bells,
Each with different, lovely smells. (more…)

I must speak the truth in all I say,
When in class, or when I play.
To all people, no matter who they are,
I must speak the truth and I’ll go very far. (more…)
