The Queen Of Islam Poem by Mohammad Younus

The Queen of Islam -
Khadija,
Came to Mustaffa;
With all her treasures -
Immeasurable!
In order to gain pearls of wisdom,
When she had found him, indeed,
His charisma shone upon her so suddenly,
That she melted in contemplation,
Like an icicle before the full sun,
She gave him all,
That he gave away,
In exchange, he gave her wealth of all nations:
knowledge and wisdom!
And the gift robbed her of everything,
That she ere had bragged about,
Her heart, her soul, and her mind -
Got filled with mystic wealth,
No material thing remained within her:
Everything was engulfed in divine love,
She adored him as her husband and master both,
In love, she was to him what Zulekha was to Josef,
When he came down from the mount of light,
He told her: Zamiluni, Zamiluni,
Cover me! Cover me!
