Ali, Son Of Abu Talib ~ Ali Sami Farooq Poem by Ali Sami Farooq

Ali, the son of Abu Talib,
The fourth caliph of Islam,
What's that big of it?
He was the king
The ruler of a kingdom bigger
Than the kingdom of Solomon
So what, what importance attach to it?
He did not belong to any dynasty
Nor did he fight war before or after his coronation,
So what surprising?
He was a poet, a philosopher
His prose style till date has not been surpassed
He is the owner of ‘'peak of eloquence ‘'
The gate of knowledge
And I tell you he is simply great.

Abdul Wahab
