Khwaja Garib Nawaz - Before Dawn Poem by Syed Anwar Yarkhan Jilani

Khwaja Garib Nawaz - Before Dawn

Rating: 5.0


A column of light rises from here to havens,
Scattered exhaust but no pigeons or ravens,
Visible is only light blue clouds in the deep
While black night quietly tucked in asleep,
Sight is most miraculous, worthy of a peep.

Cute sprits of twilight fanatic dancing sway
Chaste Peace ruled the abode on every way
As if a loving angle is in every twinkling ray
Dazzlingly welcome and honour the day
As a change of guard always wish and pray.

Moin a living sage with a white beard
Imperial titles for him were too weird
Pearls and diamonds given their knell
With a sharp mind shunned the entire:
O! Peace be to Man! Whatever befell.

A stunning reflection we get to see,
In a direction west of the bright sea,
Sandstorm gyrating as herd of bees
Encircling a celestial vault there be
Like an embroidered constellation.

Before dawn winds from Madina blow
Singing melodiously to those below
Harkens morn to those asleep allows
As an army of jins may pull out pillows
Whirl softly around the dome's crown.

I have lost only because I have won
I am contented to be the selected one
Special serf of the Khwaja there is none.
Come in my friend, peep out and don't moan
Only with Khwaja Garib Nawaz it's done.
