An ode to a benevolent warrior

By Mustafa Aziz Tazwar

A man with such potential and greatness but still a man of modesty

Helping both poor and rich get pleasure and ease with honesty

So much that thy not shy to give good away to poor of the best quality

Alas thou don’t look at the quantity and treat everyone with equality

Nice to the very bone, a good heart filled with jollity

Kudus I give you for your work

Hold your head and passion high for you are god’s unique artwork

And when you are depressed –I pray to god that he gives you perk

Nevertheless never sunder and destroy all your obstacles like thunder

Chivalrous man! I must say and for him I do pray. 

Hence I pray to Ar-Rahman to make your problems go away

Oh unique sir, may Ar-Raheem grant permissions of the paradises in seven!

Wonderful endeavor you have done for thy land, thus for you wait a heaven.

Daunting is your soul, for you fight for the right goal,

Hindrance in your journey is for you a nay to say.

Usher in hope for the ones of the new generation!

Rise like a king, with your heart unleashed do sing!

Your song that is made from your true faith, endeavor and determination!
