“I bear witness Ya Rasul Allah..”
The prayer has reached its destination O Umar!
A fortress of the enemy has been taken down,
peace be upon you for Allah gave you to me!
Galloping on his horse in pace never bethought
The dust blessed to bear his imprints
Rode he before too indeed
Yet the shade of Islam covers him now
The companions gaze in sheer awe
Not a saddle is to be found beneath Umer
The devil turns away perceiving his shadow
For why approach the path
Where there is no hope?
Umar is to forego his abode
All migrates hideously in fear
yet the angels witness a proclamation,
“O people, come to stop Umer!
For it is the best of the ways
to render your wives widows
and your children orphan”
Has time sworn to greater valor?
Little beings shed tears no more,
for Umar’s justice dispels their pain,
find me a vagrant o people!
Never shall they be found
for did the streets ever doze off
before our Amir-ul-Mumineen patrolled them?
O infidel!
Ask Al-Aqsa,
Does it not yearn for a white horse
Seated on it Al-Farooq
Entering the gates of Jerusalem
Upholding the banner of Islam?
Indeed it does,
always it shall,
the bygone
shall return.
