Poem : I Remember

I REMEMBER

Back in the days in makkah
A blessed town also known
As bakkah.
Came a man with plain truth
La shakka!

Few believed him, mostly weak
Darul arrqam to, they sneak
I remember!
Ammar bin yassir
Met suhaib arrumi
At the doorstep.

Amongst the early
Was ibn umm abd
Known as AbdullahIbn mas’ud.
A qari like no other.

I remember!

Jundub ibn junadah
From the town of ghifar
With the tongue like no other
Called abu dhar.

I remember!
The seeker of truth
From Isfahan, Persia
Salman got a place higher
What a warrior!

I remember!
Mus’ab umair
A good man, who left
His mama and her money
For a test of honey
Of Janna.
Never to beLonely.

I remember!
Bilal the Blackman
At badr he killed the badman
What a payback for an ex slaveman
Such a strong man!

And Aamir ibn Abdullah
Known as abu ubaidah

Ibn jarrrah. Hard man
Who killed his father
For Allah.

I remember!
The son of husail
Brother of safwan
Keeper of secrets
Am talking about who?
Hudhaifa al yamann

Most times I wish
I came as an ansar
Or a muhajir, for all
They did to the friend
Of abubakar and umar

O’ sahabas!
I love you
For all the sacrifices
From pain, turmoil and torture
RadiyAllahu-ta’ala-anhum-jamii’an!

Til we meet inshaAllah
Your apprentice
