Islamic Poems

O Flower of all the prophets,

Teacher of truths divine,

Thou vision of God’s beauty,

The whole world’s love be Thine.

 

The Messenger of Brotherhood

And of God’s unity,

Thou treasure of Arabia,

May we grow like to thee.

 

So pure thy heart, so fine thy form

That it no shadow casts,

Great with the great thou did’st appear

And with the small always so near.

 

O tolerance sublimely shown

To Christian or to Jew,

“They also have a soul,” thou cried,

“Who limits God to few?”
