The Holy Prophetsa 321 had possessed themselves of all my property, I would not have been so pained and my heart would not have been so hurt as it has been pained and hurt by the insults of- fered to the Holy Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be on him]. [Ā'īna-e-Kamālāt-e-Islām, Rūķānī Khazā'in, Vol. 5, pp. 51-52] Poems in Remembrance of the Holy Prophetsa al-Qaşīdah-An Ode in Praise of the Holy Prophetsa (Arabic Poem) O fountainhead of Divine grace and knowledge! All creation flocks towards you like the thirsty. O ocean of the grace of the Generous Benefactor! Multitudes throng towards you holding empty cups. O sun of the kingdom of beauty and grace! You have illumined the face of deserts and dwellings alike. A nation had the honour to behold you and another heard Of this full moon that has enchanted me. They shed tears in remembrance of your beauty; And the pangs of separation from you make them cry. I find hearts throbbing wildly; And tears streaming from the eyes. O ye who in his light and radiance is like the sun and the moon; And has illumined the day with his light. O full moon of ours, O the sign of our Gracious Lord! O the most guided of all guides, and the bravest of all the brave.
