Short Poem

In the name of ALLAH, the Most Beneficent,
 the Most Merciful.


In praise of 12 Imams (AS)

By: Naema Hussein

My heart is fine and bright with the love of Haydar

Next to Haydar, Al-Hasan is our Guide and Leader.

The dust beneath the Shoes of Al-Husain

is the eyeliner (surmah) for my eyes.

Al-Abideen, the ornament of all devotees 

is like a crown on my head.

Al-Baqir is the light of both my eyes.

The religion of Ja'far is true and the path of Musa is right.

O, loyal, ones: listen to me praising the King of Kings (Al-Ridha)

who is buried in Khurasan.

A particle from the dust of his tomb is the cure of all pains

Leader of men of faith is Al-Taqi, O dear Muslims

If you love Al-Naqi in preference to all other people,

you have done the thing which is proper and right.

Al-Askari is the light of the eyes of both Adam and the world.

Where can be found, in the world,

such a chief in command like Al-Mahdi?

Essence of the Holy Quran The Eternal Light.
