Bismillah-hir-Rahman-nir-Raheem

Up, Up, N Away…

Rajab, the chosen month, Rooh-ul-Qudoos was thus appointed

Bura’aq,white as snow, all heavenly mares left behind disappointed

A night silenced by mystery, a soul sleeping oh so peacefully

Zamzam poured upon a heart, meant to be cleansed of all impurity

Bura’aq with speed of lightening, carrying its blessed burden

Bait-ul-Muqqadas in Jeruselem, destined for salah and salutation

A holy gathering to be envied, of prophets one and all

Stood behind the chosen one, all humbled down to Allahs call

Only with an upcast glance, did the threesome begin to rise

Gracing all seven gates of heaven, the holiest of holiest sons to Adams surprise!

Greetings from Isa and Idris, from Musa and Ibrahim

Atlast, by the lone, lote tree, and beyond to meet Allah Supreme

Threatened by the thought of his wings turning to ashes

Was Jibrail thus compelled to part ways

Rise, oh beloved one to where Allahs throne flashes

Such brilliance as can blind mans naked gaze

The gift of salah bestowed upon every staunch follower

Fifty in all did Musa shun

Till atlast, did divine intervention to five lower

A promised reward of fifty, if with righteousness done

Muhammed (s.a.w) a witness unto heaven and to hell

Saw what no mind had imagined, and no eye had seen

Unto flames and thorns to where sinners do dwell

Or a heavenly abode, of rivers, lakes and surroundings serene

As with every good thing,that must come to an end

Did this journey end where it had begun

To the idol-worshippers a firm message sent

Islam to stand tall, when justice is done…
