Al-Farabi, The Soul Poem by Mohammad Yousef

By Mohammad A.Yousef

In ancient winds of wisdom,
where the stars whispered softly,
a voice arose,
a seeker of truth,
Al-Farabi,
the soul of philosophy,
a bridge between worlds,
where reason and spirit entwined.

He walked the sunlit streets of knowledge,
his thoughts like rivers,
flowing through the valleys of understanding,
gathering stones of insight,
the essence of existence,
the harmony of being,
a melody echoing in the chambers of the heart.

In the marketplace of ideas,
he traded in enlightenment,
his words,
a tapestry woven with threads of logic,
stitching the fabric of intellect
to the warmth of the soul,
for he knew,
the mind was a garden,
and the soul, its tender bloom.

Oh, Al-Farabi,
with your quill dipped in the ink of stars,
you charted the heavens
and laid the foundations
of a city,
where the just shall dwell,
where the virtuous shall rise,
and the seeker shall find solace
in the embrace of knowledge.

You spoke of the divine,
the first cause,
the unmoved mover,
who ignites the flame
within the heart of humanity,
a spark that dances,
yearning for the light,
for the higher purpose,
the symphony of existence
that resonates in every soul.

In your words,
the essence of love unfurled,
the bond that transcends the material,
the connection between the self
and the vast cosmos,
where every heartbeat
is a note in the grand composition
of life,
a reminder that we are all
threads in the infinite tapestry.

And in the quiet corners of your mind,
you pondered the nature of happiness,
the true city,
not of stone and mortar,
but of wisdom and virtue,
where the soul soars,
unfettered, unchained,
embracing the beauty of existence
as the stars embrace the night.

Al-Farabi,
the soul's philosopher,
you beckon us to awaken,
to see beyond the veil,
to dance with the questions
that linger like shadows,
to embrace the light
that flickers within,
for in the quest for knowledge,
we find ourselves,
we find our place
in the great cosmic design.

So let us wander through your thoughts,
explore the labyrinth of your mind,
for in every passage,
in every turn,
we discover the essence of humanity,
the quest for truth
that binds us all,
and in that pursuit,
we embrace our own soul's journey,
echoing your wisdom,
resonating in the heart of existence,
a testament to the legacy of Al-Farabi,
the eternal seeker,
the soul of philosophy.
