Ali un Wali UllahFathemah binte AsadWas expecting Ali (a.s)She could tell that this childWas a hero to be

She prayed near the KaabaOh God will you pleaseHelp me to deliverThis baby with ease

The walls of a cornerSplit opened a crackThen entered the ladyThere was no turning back

The people aroundSaw the walls make a shutThey tried to unlockThe doors, with no luck

Four days had passed byThere was cause for alarmSoon emerged the great ladyWith Ali (a.s) in her arms

I was helped by dear Maryam (a.s)Lady Aasya (a.s) was thereThere was food from the heavensI was seen to with care

Abu Talib rejoicedBanu Hashim did tooMohammad (s.a.w) was cheerfulI was waiting for you

My uncle, this childMay I take him with me?Hell be under my wingIn my custody

He was influenced wellHe was nurtured with loveHad a brilliant mindHe achieved way above

The Prophet (s.a.w) invitedHis kith and his kinAccept this religionAnd you shall all win

Ali (a.s) was the firstTo willingly submitThere is no God but AllahI believe and admit

Mohammed (s.a.w) is SaadiqHe does not ever lieIf he says hes a messengerTheres no questioning why

Ill be your devoteeYour helper and aidIll support you foreverA promise was made

As a young boy of tenHe was smarter to knowWhat is right? What is wrong?And then which way to go

Mohammad (s.a.w) declaredHe is loyal to meI conclude as of nowAli (a.s) is my Wali

The word of the Prophet (s.a.w)Is always sublimeEach sentence thats saidIs a notice Divine

There were some that approvedThey would gladly acceptThe others deniedThey would only reject

Abu Taalib decidedMohammads not safeLets move to the ravinesTo protect him, in case

The kufaar were harassingThe Muslims so muchThey were banned from transactionsThey had no food as such

They survived in great hardshipWith no means to fightSubjected to boycottWith no voice for their right

Khadija (a.s), her wealthWas useful indeedShe gave it this timeTo sustain them in need

Three years had passed byAli (a.s) was with himConsoling Mohammed (s.a.w)Through thick and through thin

At last they came backTo their homes they returnedThey sought compromise It was duly confirmed

They continued to preachIn the next few years planNo one else would reformNot even a man

They were worshipping IdolsFor all of this whileWe dont like to give upOur used to, life style

It is time we moved outWe need to progressIslam needs to blossomWe are just too suppressed

People from MadinaCame to trade in the landImpressed by the teachingsGave Mohammaad (s.a.w) their hand

We acknowledge the OnenessOf the God of IslamYou are a true messengerWe accept with eemaan

This religion has beautyTheres justice, theres peaceDo come to MadinaAnd stay, as you please

Welcome to our cityOh do be our guest Arrangements are madeFor your comfort and rest

Many Muslims migratedThey were safe and were fineBut Mohammed (s.a.w) was waitingFor instructions Divine

The All-knowing informed himYoure surrounded by foeIt is time to leave MeccaSo now you must go

They are planning to kill meTonight on my bedAli (a.s) will you lie downAnd sleep here instead

Put on these, my clothesPretend you are meIt will give me the timeTo get out and to flee

At once, my dear cousinWhatever you sayIt gives me great pleasureTo make smooth your way

Mohammad (s.a.w) was touchedHe had tears in his eyesHe hugged and he kissed himThey said their goodbyes

The Angels protectedAli (a.s), as he sleptThe enemies approachedAnd silently crept

About to attackThe person they thoughtIt was not Mohammad (s.a.w)But Ali (a.s), that they caught

Where is Mohammad (s.a.w.)?How come you are here?Lets go on a searchHe must still be quite near

Our dearest Mohammad (s.a.w)Escaped in good timeHe was close to MadinaWas well and was fine

Ali (a.s) was to followHe would always obeyHe escorted the ladiesSoon went on his way

Oh people of MadinaGod bless you, we prayWe are grateful to youYou relieved us today

From now we are brothersHe assigned each a pairWe will help one anotherWell respect and well care

Ali (a.s) I choose youAs my partner and heirI feel so at easeWhen I know you are there

Ali (a.s), oh my brotherOh the closest to meYou provide me with comfortIn all misery

Ali (a.s), my best friendOh the strength of Rasool (s.a.w)You will serve us with waterAt the great Kausars pool Moosa (a.s) had Haroon(a.s)For support in his caseAli (a.s) I have youTo brighten my face

He has many fine virtuesUncounted, untoldHe is known to be HayderHe is born to be bold

I will offer my daughterLady Fathemah, to youThere is no man more worthySo what can I do?

I accept this great honorOh my Master Rasool (s.a.w)Shes a great noble ladyYour daughter Batool (a.s)

I will love her, protect herWith all of my heartI will cherish her foreverTill death do us part

Ali (a.s) would assistHis wife in her choresThe Prophet endorsedYouve earned blessings in scores

They were kind to the needyThe orphans, the weakThey wanted Gods pleasureThats all they would seek

Many aayats descendedIn praise of Ali (a.s)The aayat of tat-heerHonours his family

All doors of the masjidWere told to be shut Except for Alis (a.s)Cause I love them so much

Each morning the ProphetWould stand by their doorMay Peace be upon youGods blessings and more.

The Meccans were angryThey wanted a warThey brought a great armyTo settle the score

They came close to MadinaAnd were stopped on the wayThe Muslims were waitingAt Badar, on that day

We Muslims are fewOnly three-one-and-threeOur morals are lowWe are worried, you see

Have faith in your Lord You just do your bestYou prove yourself worthyAnd Hell do the rest

You will win in both casesIf you die or surviveIf youre martyred, dont worryYoure forever alive

Death has been appointedIt has to be facedCome sooner or laterWe have to embrace

If only you knew What death is aboutYou would run to your gravesWithout any doubt

The Angels are waitingWith bouquets in their hands To welcome you, MominThey respectfully stand.

The Muslims were heartenedWe will do what it takesFor the love of Rasool (s.a.w)For Islam and its sakes

There were one-to-one battlesIn single combatsAnd the Muslims did manageTo beat their attacks

Allah o AkbarWas the call out aloudThe Muslims prevailedAnd felt, oh so proud

Ali (a.s) was the strength He was bravest of allHe killed most of the enemiesAnd prevented a fall.

The battle of UhadWas the next one to beThere were archers assignedTo guard and to see

The Muslims were winningThey took over the fieldBut got pre occupiedIn collecting the yield

The archers were toldTo stay put on the standBut tempted by bootyThey left and they ran

The rivals returnedThey continued attackThey saw a great chanceTo resume and get back

What a terrible mishapMuslims were at lossMohammad (s.a.w) was injuredIn all this chaos

Ali (a.s), he was firmHe fought all the wayThough injured severelyThen too, saved the day

Jibraeel (a.s) thus announcedThere is no match by farNo brave heart like Ali (a.s)Nor his sword Zulfiqaar

Though Muslims did triumphMany lives were still lostNot patient enoughHad to pay a big cost

The Meccans were furiousWe need to get backThey included some tribesAnd re-planned an attack

Mohammad (s.a.w.) was anxiousHow do we defend?Madinas at riskWe have limited men

Lets make a wide trenchAround this cityThe enemies cant crossSaid Salman Farsi

Khunduq was soon readyAn idea so greatLets pray to Almighty To favour our fate

The forces from MeccaArrived near the townThey saw the deep pitThat stretched all around

They said to themselvesSo, now what shall we do?We can no way go overThis tactic is new

Then Umro and his menThey circled the groundThey looked for a wayAnd soon it was found

The dig was quite narrowThey motioned their steedThey jumped over the ditchAnd crossed it with speed

Umro was well knownFor his valour and mightHe challenged with prideWho dare comes to fight?

I am waging this warTo vanquish you allIslam will be ruinedI will make sure you fall

Ali (a.s), then respondedI will fight back with youBut first, heres an offerAccept what is true

Mohammad (s.a.w) pronouncedToday, in this duelAll-eemaan is againstThe all-infidel

There was a rough clashLike a thunder so loudNot much could be seenIn the sand dusty cloud

A struggle was heardAll hearts beating wildThen appeared our Ali (a.s)His face wore a smile

The Muslims delightedDaredevil is doneAll thanks to Ali (a.s.)The battles been won

Ali (a.s), I confirm,Your one strike of this kindIs greater than worshipOf all jinn and mankind

The Meccans were thinkingNow how will we cope?Our champions been killedThere is left little hope

Then struck a great lighteningA storm hard to bearThe winds were a gushingThings flew every where

Abu Sufyan then decidedThe conditions not rightThey could only withdrawAnd return home that night.

The neighboring tribesOf Jews, were a painThey were bothering the MuslimsAgain and again

They were safe in a fortressKhyber was its nameSent Mohammed his menTake control and then tame

Each time that they triedThey had to retreatThe Jews were determinedWere firm in their feet

Tomorrow I will giveThis banner to himWho does not leave from KhyberUntil he does win

He is loved by AlmightyAnd His Prophet as wellThe feeling is mutualOne can easily tell

The Muslims were wonderingOh who could he be?The Prophet (s.a.w.) recitedThe Naad-e-Ali (a.s)

Within a few momentsAli (a.s) was nearbyI cant see too clearlyThere is pain in my eye

No worries, oh Ali (a.s)Here let me help youMy Prayers to AllahWill cure your eyes too

A miracle indeedWe just dont know howAli (a.s) is all wellIt happened just now

Oh Pillar of IsamMy savior Ali (a.s)Go take over KhyberDo this favor for me

I will do what you sayBy the power of GodHe gives me the strengthFor He is my Lord

The walls of the forteWere like a big brickThe door of the entranceWas heavy and thick

Ali (a.s) took Allahs nameAnd held on to that doorHe ripped it right outAnd removed it for sure

He made an announcementWere coming insideIf there are ladies around Go indoors as to hide!

The Muslims then enteredAnd started their fightThey charged on the enemyWith all of their might

Ali (a.s) helped them take overEach forte after forteHe used the big doorAs a shield of some sort

Then Marhab approachedHe weighed a big tonHe possessed many swordsLook at me everyone!

He wore a huge armorHad a helmet of stonesJust the sight of this manSent a chill to our bones

He made a loud summonSo where is Ali (a.s)?If you think youre so strongCome and contest with me!

Ali (a.s) gave a replyDo you know my fameI am a brave lionHayder is my name!

I will take up the challenge That is easy to doWith a skillful maneuverI will overcome you.

Allah is the GreatestWas the cheer of the crowdMarhabs sent to hellThey called out aloud

They thanked the AlmightyKhyber has been wonLets get back to MadinaOur job here is done.

We have grown a big numberWere a stronghold todayLets proceed towards MeccaAnd see what they say

In the eighth year of hijratWe collected a groupThere were twelve thousand menThat had joined in our troop

When we reached close to MeccaIn our multitude scoreThe kufaar lost their moralsAnd were struck with great awe

They surrendered to Mohammed (s.a.w)We have wronged you by farWere accepting IslamWe now know who you are

You can punish or pardonYou know well what to doThis place is all yoursIts entirely for you

Mohammed (s.a.w) is MercyHe will surely forgiveWe will not take revengeYoure at liberty to live

And so Mecca was conqueredWithout any warBloodshed was preventedOn this holy floor

Mohammed (s.a.w) announcedAll people are freeThis day is for MuslimsA great victory

There were loud calls of kalimah:Allah is just oneHe is worthy of worshipBesides Him theres none

Come here to this doorOf the Kaaba DivineCome climb up my shouldersAnd you will do fine

Destroy all these statuesThat are standing withinRemove all the idolsWorship only Him

Bilal stood on the roof topOf the Kaaba reveredHe gave an AzzaanWhich was clearly heard

They faced to the QiblahAnd did their salaatThey performed an umrahAnd made their tawaaf

Mohammed (s.a.w) was in MeccaFor a while after thatIntroduced the new systemConstructed what lacked

It was time to returnTo Madina againOn the way they encounteredAn attack at Hunain

The enemies, this timeLay in ambush at nightThe charge was so suddenGave the Muslims a fright

There was only a handfulDefending Nabi (s.a.w)The nine Bani HashimIncluding Ali (a.s)

A loud call was madeYour Prophet (s.a.w) is hereCome back my good menAnd fight with no fear

The Muslims returnedWith a courage newfoundThey defeated the enemyAnd stood a firm ground

Lets charge all our people Relieve them of stressLets prosper the MuslimsLead them to success

Mohammad (s.a.w) convincedThe various tribesThey entered IslamAnd adjusted their lives

The Christians of NajranThey refused the inviteLets collect at some placeAnd then see who is right

We bring forward our closestThe ones that are nearThe ones that we loveThe ones that are dear

We present with our selvesOur women and heirThen well pray to our GodHe will do what is fair

Mohammed (s.a.w) agreedHe brought forward Ali (a.s)You will come as my nafsYou will represent me

My sweet daughter Zahra (a.s)You come with us tooThe Chief Of All WomenIs a tribute to you

Hassan (a.s) and Hussain (a.s)Grand children of mineYour beautiful facesWith Noor they do shine

When the head monk of ChristiansHe saw them come nearHe witnessed the gloryAnd felt awesome fear

Give up, oh my peopleWe need to withdrawIf they happen to curse usWe will be no more

I have seen a connectionWith Almighty, so strongThey are speaking the truthThere ways cant be wrong

They all have the powerTo make mountains moveI am sure of this factWe dont need to prove

I have heard of these fiveEach one is a star I know now for sureWho the Punjetan are

Mohammed (s.a.w) subduedThe Christians this wayMubahila is cancelledWe will do what you say

Islam was predominantIn Arabia from nowWe need to spread furtherThis message somehow
