THE CROWN OF HUMANITY

محمد صلي الله عليه وسلم

A soul of simple joys and tastes
He stood above his fellow mates

Born in a poor and orphaned state
To the rich he showed  no envy or hate

Never in life he proudly walked
Nor he ever haughtily  talked

A friend of the lowly and distressed
On fair dealings he greatly stressed

He cherished good deeds and noble works
Above homilies and pious words

Though untaught, he was a perfect scholar
A beacon of light for every caller

The wisest of all, he sought advice
He keenly listened to Companions’ voice

His followers live in every part of the globe
His teachings are the sole universal hope
