Laysal Ghareeb (Part 1) - Mishary Rashid Al-Afasy

This poem is about the reality of this world and death.

By 'Ali bin Husayn bin 'Ali bin Abi Taalib, (RA)

~~The Stranger Is Not~~

1) The stranger is not the stranger to Yemen or Shaam... But the stranger is the stranger to the grave and the coffin

2) Verily the stranger has rights for his absence... Over the residents of the dwellings & homelands

3) Dont chase away the outlander in his state of unfamiliarity... For time is also chasing him with hardship & distress

4) My travels are far and my provisions will not suffice me... My strength has weakened and death is calling unto me

5) I still have sins which I know not of... Allah knows of them; those made in secret & in manifest

6) How merciful has Allah been to me by giving me respite... And I have increased in sins but Allah has always shielded me

7) The hours of my days pass by without regret... No crying, no fear, no sadness

8) I am the one who closes the doors with fatigue on disobedience... and The Eye of Allah watches over me

9) O that which was written in a moment of heedlessness... O the sorrow which remains in my heart is burning me

10) Leave me to bewail myself and weep... and pass the time in sadness and remembrance

11) Leave off your Blaming of me O Ye who do so... If you were but to know my situation you would have excused me

12) Let me cry out tears that have no ending to them... for there will be no lesson that will set me free

13) It is As though I am with that family, laying... Upon the mattress with their hands turning me over

14) And they came to me with a doctor that he may cure me... But of today I think no medicine will benefit me

15) My sufferings increased and death began to pull at me... From every vein, without ease or comfort

16) My soul was then removed from me with a gurgle... And my saliva became bitter at that point

17) They then shut my eyes and left me for a long moment... they hurried to the purchaser of the shroud

18) And he who was dearest to me got up in a hurry... To summon the person who was to wash me

19) He said: O my people we have attained a washer who is skillful, clever, bright & intelligent...

20) So then one of the men came and removed my clothing... He undressed me and denuded me

21) They then placed me on top of a board... And the sound of water above me began to clean me

22) He poured the water on top of me and washed me... Three times, before calling out to the people for the Shroud

23) They shrouded me in a sleeveless garment... And my provisions became the embalmment in which they embalmed me

24) They Bore me towards my journey Out of this World, Oh How Sorrowful... Will be this journey for which I have no provisions to take along with me

@amwahid25 jazakallah for correcting..yes in our languages of sub continent and afghanistan maybe persian too its meaning is poor...

[amwahid25]

@ahmedzahir12345 assalaam alaykum. Bro, ghareeb doesn't mean 'poor' in Arabic. It means 'stranger'. I think in the indo-pak regions, it means poor. Peace.
