Poetries by Zaki Khalid
O Muhammad (SAW)! When The Night Of Revelation Came
Laylat-Ul-Qadr, The Night Of Power
Angel Jibreel Descended
On Your Holiness To Knowledge Shower
And Then You Went Home
All Scared With Confusion
You Asked For A Blanket
You Were Sweating All Over
It's From Then On
That You Started Reforming
The Barbaric People
Of Their Time So Deforming
You Taught Them To Love
And Rank Everyone Above
The Barriers Of Caste, Colour And Creed...
You Took Hazrat Bilal (R.A.)
From The Slavery Of Rulers
And Soon Had Him Freed...
You Presented Us With Useful
Advisory Assistances
Which We Call As
The Glorious Had'ith
Your Holy Sayings
Are Sacred To All
Those Who Reject It
Always Fall
You Told Us To Believe
In The One True God
Allah (Subhaana Wa-Taala)
The Most Compassionate, The Most Merciful
Infinte Durood-O-Salaam
On You, O Muhammad
Benefector Of Mankind
And Of The Worlds

There's Still Time O Children of Adam!
Don't mislead yourselves!
Submit to Allah!
Realise yourselves!
Naught you are
But a mixture of sand
Made by the faithful
Angels' hands
This tempting world
Is temporary
Pass the test
Or fail miserably
Only by passing
Will you enter Heaven
You'll be failing yourselves
By following the path of Satan
So many desires to give up
So many temptations to leave
All but good for the coming Hereafter
Of thinking which, we could easily breathe
But some of them
Still don't comprehend
Though they know all
Of not knowing pretend
They say they pray
And give Zakah
And perform the compulsory
Hajj and Umrah
Besides which
In normal routines
They're absent from
The Path of Allah
What can I do
But feel so sorry
On the people who don't
Have the least bit of glory
By not following the path
Of the Rasool-Allah
And submitting their wills
To Almighty Allah
You still have time
To Evolutionize
And your modes of thinking
Revolutionize
Of course if you plead
To Allah for help
He without a doubt shows you
The solution to all
Otherwise you're already fulfilling
The Kaafirs' desires
And preparing yourselves
For the Wonderful Fall
So my fellow brothers and sisters
There's still time Zaki Khalid
Don't mislead yourselves!
Submit to Allah!
Realise yourselves!
Naught you are
But a mixture of sand
Made by the faithful
Angels' hands
This tempting world
Is temporary
Pass the test
Or fail miserably
Only by passing
Will you enter Heaven
You'll be failing yourselves
By following the path of Satan
So many desires to give up
So many temptations to leave
All but good for the coming Hereafter
Of thinking which, we could easily breathe
But some of them
Still don't comprehend
Though they know all
Of not knowing pretend
They say they pray
And give Zakah
And perform the compulsory

The Best Example Of Piety
You Reformed The Savage Arabs
And Eradicated All Hatred
You Taught Us The Teachings Of The Qur'an
To Us Which Are Sacred
Not Only Did You Teach Us
The Disciples All Holy
But You Yourself Implemented On Them All
And Set An Example Worldly
You Astonished The Infidels
By The Immense Power Of Your Simplicity
You Never Retaliated, Neither Cursed Them
And Kept Bearing All Forms Of Severity
You Stood Firm In Your Aim
Of Spreading The Message Of Allah
You Always Did
What You Knew Would Please Allah

Your Face
Your Eternal Noorani Grace
If Only One Day We Can Get To See
There's No Other Place Where A True Muslim

12 Rabbi ul Awwal It's 12 Rabbi-Ul-Awwal
All the birds have gathered together
Chirping happily in each others' ears
They celebrate the coming of the Benefector
The sun feels shy
With respect to it's brightness
Which is nothing in front of
His noor
The whole of Makkah
Every single alley
Enlightened by the arrival
Of the Rasool
People coming to Bibi Amina
One-by-one in lines
Greeting her heartily
For the boy so fine
Come night-time there's no
Trace of the moon
It too feels shy
Hiding itself behind clouds
It looks upon
An even better glowing moon
Comforted in the care
Of Bibi Amina
Bibi Halima enters the house
As soon as she sets her gaze
What she feels is awe
She was nothing but amazed
Though it was night
The house was lit-up
Baby goats coming and licking his feet
Baby sheep coming and kissing his feet
The camels give excess of milk today
There's no compromise when feeding Muhammad
They all look towards
That holy little child
Smiling with the purest of smiles
Bless you O Muhammad!

The Cosmos At the cosmos I wonder
I want to ponder
Over what do I think except
Where could be it’s brink?
Emotions and feelings
Of utter amazement
Encompass me in their grip
‘Allah Allah’ automatically comes out from my lip
What could be the extent of extent
And to that extent, is there a limit?
Is there a limit to infiniti
Does infiniti have an extent?
As I ponder
A jinn passes me by
Informs me of himself
Also wondering on the same thing
Stunned, I ask him
I thought you know about it
‘Nay’, he says
‘I myself have been wondering
For quite some time now
I thought maybe you have reached to the point
Where the end of infiniti is half the cosmos’
‘But how could I know’, he said
‘I’m not of that mental capacity’
For a long time
The both of us
Decide to think on it
Together
For a long time…

What The Qur'an Is Saying I'm present in the hearts
Of countless men and women
I am present here now
I was present there then
The more I get maligned
The more I spread around
The more my teachings and principles
Around believers' minds get wound
I spread the true message
The message of The Almighty
The people who abide by me
Are the ones who really are worthy
Countless books have been written against me
And against the ones who believe in me
Yet when the Day of Judgment will come
It's the truth that the world will then see
That I tried to guide them
Towards the path so straight
But they never thought about
While still now I wait
My followers are slowly
Reciting my verses without faith
With no conviction in their hearts
I feel pity upon their souls
Read me they just
To fulfill formalities
Such is my Rabb's Ummah
Being filled with abnormalities
I call you still now
To understand me while there's time
To shun material teachings
Before the End of Time
I was waiting,
Am waiting,
Till I get recalled...
