Steel Against The Gale Poem by AFFAQ NABI

Through the hills, by plains I did embark,
Upon a charge both grievous, hard, and steep.
A tempest against the heavens leave its mark,
Twixt sable clouds, and furious winds did leap.
My bosom fraught with worries, sharp and keen,
As midst the waters, turbulent and profound,
I steered my course, ah, she was not then seen,
But did her hallowed utterances resound.
So potent were the accents she did lend,
They chased my vessel through the driving rain,
And her very shade did my frail back attend,
And her benisons did hover, to sustain,
Till shore was met, my destined port attained.
Her blessed words as steel and valor reigned.
