Poem by Zafeera Kassam: Teri Dosti Mein...

Our Best Friend is the Lord of the Worlds,
King of the kings;
Abundantly merciful,
Endlessly generous,
Extremely beautiful.

Our Best Friend is the lighthouse in the dark,
Beacon of hope;
Ever patiently aglow,
Unimaginably accepting,
Here, to rid all woe.

Our Best Friend is the paragon of virtue,
Faultless; flawless;
His loyalty unquestionable,
His tender protection unwavering,
His integrity unimpeachable.

Our Best Friend is the epitome of love,
Ocean of affection;
Saviour of humanity;
Tirelessly working to uplift our lives,
Restoring peace, unity and dignity.

Our Best Friend is the Shah divine,
Manzil-e-maqsood;
Aql-e-Kul; An-Nur;
Shah Karim Al Husseini,
dearest to human and hoor.
