Tabligh in America --- Second Prize

Tabligh in America

Usama Ahmed
Majlis Baltimore

O people! A message is sent forth for you,

The gold of the old shall return, if only you knew.

O people! Soon the fortunes of man shall fall,

Even the kings shall abandon all to crawl.

Prince and pauper shall cease to be,

O people! That will be a time to see.

Chains of confusion clip the Eagle’s wings,

Only with understanding shall we survive,

Only knowledge will cease our self-inflicting stings.

Only through knowledge shall our souls revive.

We find ourselves in this dark night.

The Eagle stumbling on with its unending flight.

Its wings constricted,

Our minds restricted.

Our sight is blind in the night,

Forcing friend to foe in this endless fight,

O people! The night has been driven away,

Listen to the message; let it show you the way.

Just as there is night, so too is there light,

O people! Wade not in the waters of the past,

O people! Throw down your weapons, awaken your sight.

The light of Ahmad is lit to last.

Gather around in his hallowed tent,

Draw the warmth emanating from the light,

Cast away the chains Darkness has lent,

Eat spiritual food and end your plight.

Let your Eagle soar free,

Let it chase the horizon as the sun rises,

Listen nevermore to Evil’s plea,

Reinvigorate the mind with the message religion reprises.

Seek out the knowledge that will free your mind,

Unleash the chains of confusion, free yourself from subliminal delusion.

Remain to your path, or follow the light’s find,

The choice lies with you, so long as you gain sight beyond seclusion.

O people! A message is sent for you,

The old shall return to gold, if only you knew,

The darkness shall be overrun with a golden hue,

If only you knew.
