Poem
Oh! Ali , the son of Abu Talib , Today I have read your book ‘’Peak Of Eloquence ‘ And seen your pain and agony through which You had gone from bottom to top in the journey of your life I understand what treasure you have left for us By the way you gathered experience In dealing with friends and foes Caprice and conspiracy, wrath and anger Malice and lies in the lanes and by-lanes of power Your heart might have gone through thousand cuts Yet you have kept honesty at a great height Your intense love for knowledge is like the man’s love for wealth Your hate for ignorance is like our abhorrence of poverty As it is the worst of death And makes people stranger in their own land You are more than right when you said No wealth is more useful than intelligence No solitude is more horrible than when people avoid us For our vanity and conceit No eminence is more exalting than piety No companion can prove more useful than politeness No knowledge is superior to deep thinking and prudence No worship or prayers are more sacred than fulfilling obligations and duties No religious faith is loftier than feeling ashamed of doing wrong Nothing is more respectable than forgiveness and forbearance No support or defense is stronger than consultation And you correctly observed when you said that many people go Without getting anything out of their fast But hunger and thirst, And out of their night prayers They get nothing but exertions and sleepless nights But a wise and sagacious person gets all the praise Though he does not keep fast and sleep during nights Oh! Ali, I salute you for your pearls of wisdom And wisest guidance .
