Kaleelullah Noble Prize
The world of mere dreams
Death matching birth
Lets no survival
A dream became genuine
In the world of dreams
Crossing the gate of death
To go single
A terrifying dream
A pain like a king
Ruling the whole kingdom of body of Ibrahim
A blanket of sadness covering the heart
The set of eyes refusing retire
In the night of death silence
A decade full of prayers of Ibrahim became a child-
Ismail,
Same fondling hands with the aroma of love
To dig a grave for the son born to live
The divinely command to Ibrahim
An acid test for good faith
The dream to uproot the family tree
Go ahead,pushed Ibrahim his courage at his old age
To wet him sweat,
Let the knife to run on the neck of Ismail
Refused to cut the the knife sharpen like a throne
The command of God,Ibrahim to slaughter
But for the knife not!
In a world hunting for treasure for pleasure
Dedication sits rare
Ibrahim in other nature
To dedicate his son,his good hope
In the name of God
A tag to tie up on the face of dedication
To remember
Until this world in the last number
God-
Made him a beginning
Nothing in need
Created,all living beings
But in care allowing non to make him
Bears none his kin
Being single,
God,
Brought all beings in pairs
To maintain his stand,oneness
Surprised God!
At Ibrahim,
His attempt to slaughter Ismail-
The seed of the tree of relation
Set to grow spreading branches of generation
Surprised God!!
Put his hands of friendship
On the shoulders of Ibrahim
"Kaleelullah"-
The friend of God
Friendship also a relationship
Ibrahim,
The friend of God
The only relation in the name of God!
In rewarding Ibrahim
For obeying his command
In dedicating his son for God's sake
God wished Ibrahim his pale
The only relation in the name of God over the whole planets!
"Eidul Azha" today,
A day to remember prophet Ibrahim,
The depth of his dedication,
The reward, "Kaleelullah" the noble award from the hands of God!
