Poems on Prophet Abraham, Moses
and Mohammad Peace be upon them by Poet S L Peeran
TEST OF LOVE
The tests of love are severe
indeed
Its fire is
intense and fine
To captivate and overwhelm
Sans duality and distraction
Love calls
for single minded
Devotion, submission for merger.
Love illuminates and sparkles
With magnetic attraction.
Abraham, the Patraiah Prophet
Broke the idols carved by his
father
Placed the axe on the big one
When questioned, pointed to them.
Puzzled at the plurality of gods,
Turned towards sun, moon, stars
Finding them setting discarded
them.
Through self enquiry realized the
SINGLE ONE.
Faced severe tests from his tribe
A great fire was prepared for him
To be burnt alive for rejecting
idols
Stoically and bravely faced the ordeals
Refused the help of Angel Gabriel
Proved his total submission
To the solitary Supreme Lover
To whom he sacrificed his heart
Lo, the deep faith and piety
Reached the Great Loving Self
Whose commands obeys the worlds
Nothing Stirs Sans His knowledge.
The fire turned to roses fragrant
A soft bed to receive in its lap
The favorite devotee of the Lord
Whose devotion surpassed every
one
Abraham was tested again and
again
Even at eighty five, he had no
issues
Prayed for Lord’s Grace to bestow
one
Ismail was born to slave girl
Hajira.
But Lord questioned his devotee
To prove his love and devotion
To sacrifice the child and
abandon
And turn selflessly to worship
Him alone.
Abraham’s love was total and
complete
Like a full moon to shed its
bright light
With all glory and its
splendorous shine
Sans heat and sweat, but to cool
the eyes
Abraham did not tarry for a
moment
Took the suckling and the young
beauty
To the parching dry desolate
desert
To prove his devotion to Lord, to
pass the test
Thirsty child abandoned under
blistering sun
To be watched by the angles and
Allah
A devotional legend to surpass
generations
To create a Kaaba for the
yearning souls
Hajira, a deep devotee, of Lord
the Cherisher
Ran helter-skelter upon the hills
Fearing vultures would rush back
To fondle the wailing, weeping
child.
Hajira moved from plains to hills
Searching for a pint of cool
water
To quench the Ismail’s thirst
Looking up to the heaven for
divine help
Divinity surrounds a sincere
devotee
Like Saturn’s rings and satellites
Like, atmosphere to sustain life
Lord’s Grace dawns morn. evening.
Lo, the wailing child’s cry moves
the heaven
The thumping foot brings forth a
fountain
A cool stream spurts forth from
below
A sparkle in the eye, Hajira
uttered thanks.
The oozing water was overwhelming
Flooding, a deluge surrounding
Hajira in excitement shouted “Zam
Zam”
Lo, the flow receded, a miracle
from heaven.
Lord the cherisher bestows His
bounty
On His simple, sincere devotees
But the Love’s fire needs
kindling.
To awaken within single minded
devotion
“Zam Zam” a spring near Kaaba in
Mecca, Saudi Arabia
******************
5. BIRTH OF MOSES
They gazed and
gazed the crystal ball
Drew draws, made calculations
Questioned ‘Ra’ and found the
answers
To ever puzzle and astonish them
all.
Lo, the high priests,
soothsayers,
Were all perplexed and quizzed
They were certain about their
prophesy
Their intuition, their
predictions
From time immemorial, a lore
built
Mighty Pharaohs proclaimed as
gods
Worshipped, adored and submitted
To their might, power and pelf
Now, a birth of a child among
slaves
Low Palestinians, uncouth,
miserable.
To ever live in abject poverty,
penury
To serve the Egyptians, the
Masters.
A child to end the tyranny and
mighty
To liberate the slaves for ever
To create a nation for freedom
To worship the unseen,
unfathomable
King Pharaoh believed in the prophecy
Ordered for massacre of all
suckling
A blood bath followed the command
Innocent lives lost like swirl
wind
The babe was born to be saved
By ‘Asiya’, the benevolent queen
To be given to Maryam for rearing
A diving grace thus saved Moses.
As the child grew in the laps of
royal
A lingering suspicion tortured
their minds.
To test the prophesy red hot
coals
Were placed as toys before the child.
So pleasing were the rosy hot
coals
The child plucked to place it in
mouth
Only to burn the lips and tongue
Just to dispel the dark doubts.
Strange are the ways of the
Nature
It protects that which needs
nurture
From the hands of the ruthless
tyrants
To help the meek to inherit and
rule.
Its designs are complex and
intricate
Yoke of slavery, chill penury
Is a test of endurance, patience
To cure the ills and enlighten
the soul.
Slaves in rags sans joys and
mirth
Sans eyes lit with sparkle
Sans minds illumined with light
Sans shelter and a cozy home
bright.
Fallen fragrant flowers sings
Sad forlorn songs yearning
To be back on the trees
To be ever cheerful with glee.
Picked to be bedecked in plaits
To decorate homes, on altar
To become wreath for bier
To join in grief and in sorrows.
So are the poor wretched
Who create marvels for the rich
Pick pearls from oysters
For crown, rings and necklaces.
Mine gold for refinement
Make jewellery for
endearment
Polish the stones for glitter
shine
Create chandeliers to spread
light.
The humble hands are gifts of
nature
Sans them the masters feel
helpless
They rule over them with cruelty
To subject them with pain,
torture.
The horses, mules, asses, oxen
Cows, heifer, sheep, goats’ camels
Dogs and pets are all to be cared
They are endeared than the
wretched.
Such were the times of tyranny
The Jews lived hopelessly
Praying with all their hearts
lovingly
For redemption from the Egyptians
Lo, their sincere prayers
Were answered by the Lord
Of the Universe, the invisible
The Magnificent and Merciful.
Lord has his own ways
To rejuvenate the dead souls
To refurbish the tortured
To rehabilitate the annihilated.
Jews looked back and wondered
As to how they had lived in
pleasure
In glory, in opulence and luxury
Blessed by God of Abraham and
Isaac.
How Joseph came to Egypt as a
slave.
How he was imprisoned and
troubled
How he did penance with
righteousness
How he achieved throne thro’ struggle.
There were times when Lord
showered Grace
When honey and milk flowed
aplenty
When they were decreed as chosen
race
For their brilliance, intellect
and beauty
Lord made covenants with them,
When He showered manna from
Heaven
Lo, they disobeyed, turned
rebellious
Now they were captivated to
redeem sins.
Their priests, seers, saner
elements
Prayed and prayed for Lord’s
Mercy
For forgiveness and resurrection
For Joseph prophesied, the
oncoming Moses.
Joseph’s mummy lay awaiting, the
Redeemer.
From the yoke of subjugation,
wrath
To seek for ever Lord’s Promised Land
For liberation, for enlightenment
to return
The chosen race had seen best of
times
Shunned idolatry, worshipped, the
SINGLE ONE,
The Sole Ruler of the hearts and minds,
Who pardons and accepts the
services done.
But man the marauder the
thankless
Commits wrongs, sins, defies
Mercy
Lays thorns in the paths of
virtuous
Bends laws for his selfish ends.
Thus, Lord withdrew His favors
To punish the Jews for arrogance
For creating innovations in
religion
To associate Lord, with false
gods.
With the illuminating light
withdrawn
Now the paths lay in darkness
With stench and sickness
surrounding
With arms, legs, body in
shackles.
The accumulated silt, clogs, and
webs
In heart, mind, in acts, need
cleaning
To make it simple, humble to
sparkle
Wisdom dawns on those who
subjects to love
Ages passed, till the race chosen
Lived in yoke of slavery to learn
bitter lessons
Till they realized the Truth,
turned a new leaf
Prepared themselves to fallow their Savior
The Rescuer Moses reared by his future foe
To part with knowledge, learning,
wisdom
To a simple humble one’s child
innocent
Who becomes Pharaoh’s apple of
the eye.
The youth in Moses bereft of
rashness
But instilled in mind, a sense of
justice
With a deep conscious to stir
from within
To raise to occasions, to rescue
the oppressed
When Moses found two men
fighting
In the town of Memphis, a city of
Pharaoh
At the hour of the noon-sleep
One of Israelite, another an
Egyptian
Moses intervened but the enemy
Stuck Moses, to unburden ill-will
The devil worked and excited
Moses anger
So, Moses hit him hard, to let
blood.
A conspiracy lay to trap Moses
for revenge
Benevolence protected him, to
escape and flee
To a place far away beyond Egypt
To find a shelter in the home of
Shoeb
Married Shoeb’s daughter and
served him long
While Moses mind and heart turned
to god
Yearned to mingle and merge in
solitude
Thus Moses attained and gained
signs of Lord.
A bright fire emanated from the
cedar tree
Beckoned Moses to come close to
it
Proclaimed him as a Messenger of
peace
To turn the wheels of destiny of
the fallen race.
Gifted with signs of Lord, the
Merciful
The staff of Moses would turn to
a serpent
The palm of Moses would shine
like an effulgent sun
Moses now was ready to stir his
people
Moses called upon them to a life
of righteousness
To shun sins and fulfill the covenants
Sacrifice their beings with lofty
ideals
To purify mind and heart for
brightness
Moses teachings created a stir.
Parching land was blessed now
with rains
Sudden blossoming of fragrant
flowers
Brought life, joys and merriment
to Jews
A new life, a new living, a new
gait
A virtuous assertive life of
dignity
Heads held high sans impetuosity
Courtesy shown to one & all
with sparkling traits.
Aroused jealousy among Egyptians
masters
A Council discussed the grave
situation
Pharaoh alerted wrath filled his
mind
He summoned his seers and
magicians
Moses brought to Pharaoh’s
presence
Questioned Moses beliefs and his
faith
A battle of wits and interplay of
Lord’s signs
Lo, the staff of Moses turned to
python
In lightening speed swallowed the snakes
Created with trickery and magic
from the ropes
By magicians, they out of wonder fell on ground
Submitted to Moses, but perished
in Pharaoh’s hands.
Pharaoh refused freedom to Jews
Despite pestilence and drought
Floods of blood, swarms of
locusts
Frogs and lice couldn’t change his mind.
Pharaoh built a tower of might
To reach to Moses God of virtue
But to find disgrace, displeasure
Ultimately to get drowned in the
sea.
Thus, Moses led his people to the
promised land
His staff stuck on ground,
streams flowed
His twelve Jewish tribes found
each one
To cultivate and grow in
prosperity.
But devil turned their hearts
To disobedience and faithlessness
Sameri turned their gold to a calf
For worship a false idol, for
wrath.
Moses returned from Mount Sinai
After long penance with Tablets
Of Ten Commandants for guidance
Alas, his people had turned away
from Truth
A severe test from Lord followed
For Jews turned arrogant,
disobedient
Sought Manna, food, vegetables of
heaven
A stricken heart is sure to
perish.
Moses sought Lord’s Grace, His
Presence
Mount Sinai couldn’t withstand
Lord’s Effulgence and His Glory
Reduced to ashes, Moses fallen.
Moses took to penance and prayers
To seek forgiveness for his race
Pleading with Lord to restore
Grace
Words of wisdom but with no
takers
The ever Merciful again blessed
Moses people
Were again declared as a chosen
one
And made perfect with great
ideals,
Prophet Haroon and opulence
But Lord’s gifts people squander
Defy Hands of Mercy and
Benevolence
Deceit, hypocrisy, lying,
falsehood
Are sole elements for man’s
destruction.
****************
. BIRTH OF
PROPHET MOHAMMED
On being led to the stakes
Jesus was asked by his followers
Who would come
to them
To deliver and liberate them.
Jesus the
Saviour, the Succour
Was being crudely dealt with,
At the hands of his people
Who shunned and accused him.
Now, Lord,
wouldn’t send
Any more messengers of Jews
For Lord’s beloved has been
Made to wear a crown of thorns
Only from the gentiles
Would be raised a Prophet
Who would be akin to Moses
To liberate humanity from abyss.
The prophet of peace and harmony
Who would unite the people
Of varied colours and hues
To a universal
brotherhood.
The world lay in darkness
In steep idolatry and tyranny
With baby girls being buried
alive
Sans love, affection and unity.
The Lord of the Universe of seven
heavens
Of seven seas, seven oceans
His prophets, angels, books
Desecrated, polluted, corrupted.
Women in sorrow and in chains
Sans rights, treated as chattel
Profanity, vulgarity, unabashedly
practiced
So also human sacrifices, rape,
and loot.
Poor and wretched sans a succor
Sans equality, freedom and justice
Compassion, and mercy, a rare
dove
Orphans, widows lived sans love.
The sacred thread of matrimony
Severed and its pearls thrown
asunder
Devil in men’s garb on prowl
Genie sucking the blood, swarming
around.
Synagogues, churches, and temples
Infested with pests and swine’s
Men in wolf’s garb with stony
hearts
Culture and civilization at an
darkest hour
A star was born, a light shone
A manifestation of the ultimate
Truth
Purity in shinning dress dawning
To cleanse and illumine the
universe
To take humanity to zenith of
peace
To open the floodgates of
knowledge
To unite man and man in a single
bond
To liberate the destitute,
infirm, oppressed.
From the clutches of dreadful
penury
To soften the hearts and purify
minds
To make the spirit genteel
To lay a foundation for equality.
Justice to become a paragon of
virtue
Lord of universe to be adored and
obeyed
Feared, and his laws observed
His will to prevail over humanity
A posthumous child, born, reared
by foster mother
Angels visiting and flooding
heart with light
Cleaning it in perfumes and
scents
Protected by a ring of an aura.
A white cloud to give shade
Forehead shinning like a bright
light
The birth foretold by Jesus, the
Savior
Mentioned in Holy Books of the
East.
The fire of Zoroastrians
extinguished
The jewels in the crown of
Khaiser fell
The attack by Romans on Mecca
Through elephants repelled
divinely.
The Master the leader of Qureshi
The Trustworthy, Truthful, the
Just
Bringing peace among the warring
tribals
Uniting them to reconstruct the
Kaaba
Virtues, gentle to the poor
Generous and courteous to the
core
Lady Khateja the rich widow
Sending expeditions to Syria.
With a rich laden caravan
To trade and barter goods
Ahmed, the gem of a person
Handling the business affairs.
With scrupulous honesty
Captivating the heart of the
widow
Enamoured with the beauty and
sterling
Character of the foretold prophet
Endears her and seeks his hand
In matrimony in bonds of love
Serves him dedicatedly generously
Ahmed, the Qureshi, the succor of
the distressed
Opens his heart and treasury to
serve them
Ponders on the exquisite beauty
of Lord the Cherisher
The Compassionate, The Merciful,
The Beneficent
The sole and unique Ruler of the
universe.
Shuns idolatry of the Mecca
Intervenes among warring tribals
Mediates, compromises the
disputants
Wins hearts laurels and respect.
Ahmed, the chosen, the orphan,
the merchant
The Qureshi, the Hashemi, the
Meccan
Is accepted as the most virtuous
Man of sterling qualities and
piety
Withdraws from the hub and the
rub
Into a cave on the Mount Hira
In deep penance and meditation
To reach higher consciousness.
Lo, one day, when he crossed
forty
A light shone in the cave
Gabriel the Angle in the shinning
white
Commands the praiseworthy
Mohammed
To recite and read in the name of
the Lord
Mohammed hesitates, pleads
ignorance
Gabriel hugs him tight, to
enlighten him
Mohammed recites the Holy words
of Allah.
“Read in the name of the Lord and Cherisher
who created –
created man, out of a leach like clot
Proclaim ! And thy Lord
Is Most Bountiful
The use of the pen”
(S.96 : 1-3)
Mohammed rushes home in fever
Asks Lady Khateja to rap him in a
blanket
With fright and frozen in chill
fear
To be consoled, comforted by the
Lady
Gabriel then command Mohammed
“O
thou folded
In
garments
Stand
(to prayer) by night,
But
not all night
Half
of it –
Or
a little less
Or
a little more
And
recite the Quran
In
slow measured rhythmic tones
Soon
shall we send down
To
that a weighty word”
(S.73
– 1 - 5)
Thus, the message of the Lord of
the Heavens
Of the universe, is revealed
Gabriel again and again
Brings the message to recite and deliver:-
“O
thou wrapped up
(In
a mantle)!
Arise
and deliver thy warning
And
thy Lord
Do
you magnify
And
thy garments
Keep
free from stain
And
all abomination shun
Not
expect in giving,
Any
increase (for thyself)
But,
for thy Lord’s (cause)
Be
patient and Constant.”
(S.74
– 1.7)
The heaven protects Mohammed the
Prophet
The messenger of peace to
proclaim Islam
Preaches his brethren will all
gentility
With love, compassion, and sinew.
Merchants slaves destitute women
Orphans, oppressed, infirm, sick
Shun idolatry, cleanse themselves
To pray five times a day
To observe fast for a month
To give charity for the poor
To proclaim and submit to Allah
To worship HIM, the lone Creator.
Who has neither begotten a son,
but
Who is the
Creator of the Universe
Who neither sleeps nor winks
Who is ever Generous, Merciful
Who is Compassionate, Beneficent
Who is ever protective a Friend
Who is a Guide, a Giver
Who is Omnipotent, Omnipresent
Who is Imminent, Eternal
Who is Ever loving, Forgiving
Who is the Master of the day of
Judgement
Who calls for account our deeds
Who punishes and rewards
Who grants Mercy, redemption
Who blesses with Heaven for
virtuous
Whose wrath is for disobedient
Who punishes niggardly in Hell
fire
Who loves men with virtue,
patience
Who walk in straight path
Who sing paeans for HIM.
Who take care of aged parents
Who maintain the bond and ties
-
of the family and neighbours
who loves those who forget and
forgive.
Who takes care of poor and
depressed
Who are ever just and caring
Who opens the heart and breast
To his obedient servants.
With million lights of knowledge
And protects them from the
accursed
Who grants victory to His
servants
Against adversaries & foes.
Who blesses them from Heaven
With His Bounty and Grace
Who sees, Hears, Grants
Who is a Fashioner; Designer
Who exercises His absolute
control
Who is Omniscient, Transcendental
Who grants Supreme Bliss and
Ecstasy
Who is full of Forgiveness, the
Redeemer.
Who is the Dominator and the
Bestower
Who is the Provider and the
Opener
Who is the Arbitrator, The Just
Who is the Benevolent, The
Tremendous.
Mohammed’s message was shunned
Persecuted, harassed, tortured
Emigrated with Abu Baker to
Medina
To be welcomed with open arms.
To set up the first Mosque
To regulate the life of his
followers
The virtuous, men of piety
With love, affection, endearment
With brotherhood, sacrifice
To be ever obedient and lawful
Granted just laws for peace
Women, aged, children, orphans
cared;
Protected, cruelty punished
Marriage institutions saved
Social life regulated
Charity made a way of life.
To pray and fast in the name of
the Lord,
To seek, find, merge in the
Lord’s love

idiosyncrasy
To be ever humble, simple,
obedient
To learn, be wise and good to all
To be tolerant, patient,
forgiving
To bear with injustice, seek
Lord’s help
To not wage war or create strife
To compound and compromise
To be charitable and
compassionate
To be always just and truthful
Mohammed was attacked by Meccans
Wars after wars were waged
Mohammed ever forgiving loving
Patched bonds of peace.
Compromise showed generosity
United poor & rich, master
& servant
A new social life, a new gait
A new learning, of excellence
Opulence and mirth surrendered
Equality and fraternity patched
Idolatry banished, black magic
banned
Cruelty, wretchedness vanished
Promiscuity abolished, anger
subdued
Licentiousness removed, women
respected
Crime hither to spread, now
unheard
Charity, generosity, hospitality, civility
Civic sense, good living,
respectability
Gentlemanliness, courtesy, becomes
A watch word, God fearing
instilled
Man and man united universally
World brotherhood established for
peace.
