This poem is part of the collection “The Lights of the Spring” – أنوارُ الربيع, written by H.E Shaykh Muhammad al Yaqoubi. This poem challenges the eloquence of the famous pre-Islamic Mu’allaqat – seven poems which were suspended inside the Kaaba. The Shaykh, may Allah preserve him, wrote it as an epic in praise of the Prophet ﷺ at the same level of eloquence.

The English translation will come soon in shaa Allah.

The poem begins:

Greetings of the night of the Noble Birth
From a heart of one passionately in love with the Elect

The Love for the Prophet entered the precincts
of its breast in his youth, then stayed there ….

And the last line of it reads:

The mention of the beloved is the best nourishment
for a lover who fasted from turning to other than Him.

This poem, alongside 50 other poems, all written in praise of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, is prepared to be published in the new collection of poetry under the title “The Lights of the Spring” (أنوارُ الربيع). This is a large collection and all of its poems are dedicated to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, in praise of him, describing him and his character, on yearning to Madinah, yearning to visit him, expressing the immense love which the Shaykh has for him.

This will be the second collection of the Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi to be published, the first being “In the Shade of the Levant” which contains poems dedicated to Sham.
