Lessons Poem by Mahfooz Ali

Lessons



Will you fill me with your heavenly love, mother?
Will you teach me to have a heart of gold?
Will you teach me to love the young and old?

Yes, beta, mother said, it has been told
If you love the Allah your heart will be gold.
Love the young, their lives are a mystery.
Love the old, they teach you history.
