The Braillian Blinds

S. Qasim Hasany

 

O! pitiable braillian blinds,

you also lack thinking minds,

As you probe not your beliefs

And the actions of your chiefs.

Whether they conform to the Book,

What they really are and how they look.

Allah the omnipotent is everywhere,

But you claim the Prophet, a human, to be everywhere.

The 'salam' we say to the Prophet in our prayer,

Angels take it to him during our prayer.[1]

You address him aloud everywhere,

As if he were present everywhere,

By assigning qualities of omnipresent Lord,

to a human, you commit 'shirk' against the Lord.

"The Prophet was a mortal". declared Siddiq-e-Akbar

At Prophets death, whose he was the first successor.

The Prophet's sacred body is preserved in his grave

But you have invented belief, he visits every grave.

O! pitiable braillian blinds,

You also lack thinking minds!
