The Holy Prophetsa. Caused a great commotion. In the heavens:. The angels too were moved to tears. At last, because of his humility,. His prayers and supplications,. The Lord turned with compassion. To the dark and gloomy world. . The world was rocked. By a great storm of sin;. In every land people became blind and deaf. Because of sin and polytheism. . In the time of Noah,. The world was filled with every mischief;. No heart was free. From darkness and dust. . The devils had ruled. Over every body and soul;. Then the All-Powerful Lord appeared in glory. To the soul of Muḥammad. . His grace encompasses alike. The black and the white;. He it is who sacrificed his life. For the sake of mankind. . O Prophet of Allāh!. You alone are the sun of the path of righteousness;. No pious or righteous one, without you. Can find his way to the right path. . O Prophet of Allāh!. Your lips are the life-sustaining fountain;. You alone are the guide. To the path of the True Lord. . There is the one who seeks to hear your sayings. From Tom, Dick and Harry; 339
