Short Yusuf Poems

Yusuf

Yusuf


Gimme a Moslem name
Gimme the Mercy of Islam
Let empathy be the flame
That fires who I am!

Humble Youth of chaste
Unblemished in his path
Who loathes wanton taste
Who fears God’s wrath;

A Dreamer I might be
By whom Divinities speak
Spiritually blind to see
And to uplift the weak.

Make me Son of the meek
Who basks in no blame
Who tirelessly seek
Nothing, but Yusuf’s name.
