You told me:-
“Do not wrestle with righteousness,
For it always wins, regardless.”
After years…
The past emerged
And like a flame,
Your righteousness shone.
-2-
And you told me:-
“Falsity is defeated
And conquered is who conquers
By injustice.”
Nations trod upon the truth,
Secretly usurping their rights
-3-
“Do not be a fanatic..”
You said and added:-
“Fanaticism enhances not virtues.”
No sooner had you departed
The ignorants’ hypocrisy prevailed.
-4-
“Strive not to be two faced,
Nor deceive your brother to live.”
Permit me to explain your words..
Naïve are the people…
Naïve!!
-5-
You advised:-
“Your chest is laden with malice,
Remove it..
Thus remouving it from mankind.
Distance yourself a million miles
From it..
Do not attire yourself
For evil’s sake…"
-6-
…Do not befriend a liar,
Nor those moaning misers,
The promises of liars are
A mirage..
And the misers..
Enriched by their ignorance…”
-7-
“…Be good…
And sacrifice your wealth,
Towards your brother
Whom you entrust,
Readily extend your hand
To fraternize and revive him.”
-8-
When your triumphant banner,
Appeared, oh Emir,
Victory was overwhelming,
They rewarded you with enmity,
Because your justice
Introduced equality.
