Quraan
on one side
of my heart
Sunnah
on the other
I can't function without either
Eemaan
pumping around
my body
keeping me
active
and alive

Quraan
on one side
of my heart
Sunnah
on the other
My brain working
with a rhythm
Eemaan
rushing through
my veins
keeping me
stable mind
and body

Quraan
on one side
of my heart
Sunnah
on the other
My heart
functioning
because of Deen
Eemaan
present in the
bloodstream
Keeping me
elated and serene

I am a book in elegant prints
To know my name, here are some hints

Rich in cover and nicely bound
In hearts of Muslims I am rarely found
 
High on a shelf, I am kept
Forgotten there, I am left
 
With respect I do get lots of kiss
my main point is what they always miss
 
In a melodious voice they recite me
Neglecting the message inside me
 
At times I am used for phoney swear
My true use is very very rare
 
A miracle I am that can change the world
All one has to do is understand my word
 
I have wisdom I have treasure
so much so there is no measure
 
I'm your saviour, I'm your guide
But who's there to follow the bide
 
Right from wrong is my fame
Holy Quran is my name

The Merciful One's eternal word
my heart awakens, soul enraptured;
it harks back to the ancient Covenant
made before my earthly existence.

clear is the message, recited, repeated
the guiding light of inspiration and healing,
declaring good tidings to the dutiful.
to the heedless, an admonishment and warning

peace to the Honoured Servant,
entrusted with the weighty mission,
carrying the unassailable miracle
revealed to a forgetful mankind
