On the Birth Day of the Prophet

On the 1491 Birth Day of the Prophet Mohammad(pbh)
Flashed in me his words and life in nut-shell
Bereft of parents-Abdullah(R) and Amina(R) in boyhood
An Orphan was he, brought up by Grand father.
A proficient Business Youth, married Mistress Khadija(R)
Happy was his family life; but sometimes strained
By events unexpected; in meditation he got solutions
As revelation to the tangled questions before him.
His struggle in Mecca to pull on life among Qureshis
Hardened mettle to face future issues- fellow Arabs made-
Life in Madeena built up in him- a Spiritualist Politician
A Democrat who envisioned the Spiritual Oneness.
Divine Unity and Pantheism: the link of beings with Being
Love and Grace as the bond of progress here and hereafter.
Ignorance as misguiding Darkness; Knowledge as Light
Men shall come out of the former and live in the latter.
He advised all to read, think, discourse and disseminate
The convinced ideas to the illiterate fellow-beings.
Even Prophet Nabi had no power to impose his ideas
But was only a leader to advise and to refine society.
His advice on Right Path may be accepted or rejected
So, free was his logical, seasoned, intelligent premises
Put in discussions good producing good results.
He guided preachers to practice what are preached.
So he did: Holy Qur'an establishes his sincere life;
As a light lit from the Divine Light, it guides who
Read and think on the denotation and connotation
Of figures of speech: simile and metaphor beaming.
So the ill- informed (the blind) is not equal the wise.
Allah leads us to Light and Satan to the Darkness
So we all over world pray: Lead Kindly light'. My Lord-
'Thamaso ma Jyothir Gamaya'.as 'Pranjanam Brahma'.
Right Path of Lord Buddha is well marked in Islam
On the Birth day may the Spirit of the Prophet verily
Lead us; guide us to lead a peaceful graceful democratic
Madeena life in Plural society he designed colourfully..
