The Message Of Dawn
It awakened the nightingale of the flowery song in its nest
When the sparkling of the night’s forehead’s decoration disappeared
The zephyr of life with the news of the happy morning appeared
It awakened the nightingale of the flowery song in its nest
It shook the shoulder of the farmer on the field’s edge
It broke the spell of darkness of night‘s talisman with verses of Surah al-Nur
It robbed the golden crown of the bed-chambers candle in the dark
It chanted the magic of awakening those sleeping in the temple
It gave the Brahman the tidings of the bright sun
Arriving at the mosque’s roof it said to the Mu‘adhdhin
“Do you not fear the appearance of the resplendent sun ?”
Climbing the garden’s wall it cried this to the rosebud”
Burst! You are the Mu’adhdhin of the morning O rose-bud”
It gave the command in the wilderness “Move O Caravan”!
“Every dust speck will shine like a fire-fly in the wilderness”
When it reached the cemetery from the living habitation
Witnessing the spectacle of the cemetery, it spoke thus”
