The following article, written in Urdu, describes the Arabic poetry verses written around the Rodha Sharif (the final resting place of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)). The article is taken from a very famous Islamic Urdu magazine, Zia-e-Haram (April 2006). Zia-e-Haram first started its publication under the patronage of His Holiness, Justice Pir Muhammad Karam Shah sahib, may Allah grant him a high place in Paradise. Aameen.

Follwing is a great couplet from the poetry of Maulana Jami, a great poet of the Holy Prophet.

O Messenger of God! If only like the dog of the Companions of the Cave,
I could be in Paradise among your Companions.
Is it right that their dog is in Paradise while I am in Hell?
He was the dog of those Companions; I am the dog of yours!

See the Persian text

The above couplet reminds of another great verse which goes seomthing like;

Oh Holy Prophet, would that your dog was called Jami
You would call for your dog and I would come running.

Can we have the same level of love for the Holy Prophet as Maulana Jami had????

Follwing are some of the best know couplets from the poetry of Hassan bin Thabit, a great poet of the Holy Prophet.

‘I could not praise Muhammad with my words;
rather,
my words were made praiseworthy by Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).’

See the Arabic text

My eyes have not seen more beautiful person than you
No women has given birth to a more beautiful person than you
You have been created without any weaknes and blamish
As if you have been created as you wished to be created
