An Incident of the battle of Yarmuk

The armed Arab youth were arrayed for battle The bride of Syria’s land was waiting for myrtle

A young man who was restless like mercury Approaching the army’s general started saying

“O Abu ‘Ubaidah grant me permission to fight The cup of my patience and calm is full

I am becoming impatient in the Holy Prophet’s separation In his Love even a moment’s life has become hard

As I am going to the Holy Prophet’s audience I shall gladly convey if there is any message”

The general’s eye, whose sight was like an unsheathed sword, Noticing this zeal and fervor was moist with tears

The army’s general exclaimed., “You are that young man The respect for whose Love is binding on the elders

May the God of Muhammad fulfill your wish How elegant is the stage of your Love! Prophet

When you arrive in the audience of the Holy Prophet Present this petition with my sincere compliments

“The Exalted God has shown His Mercy to us Have been fulfilled all the promises you had made to us.”
