The Qur'an (Koran)

The Qur’an (Koran)

The pitiless voices fill my ears,
Frightened by overwhelming fears,
The brutal chains confine my heart,
Malevolence does not wish to part,
But true Words take me from this malice,
Mercy in this deathly palace,
Move me from my deadened languor,
Calm and quench my raging anger,
Cure me from subduing sickness,
Light outshines prevailing darkness,
Truth stands out from falsehood, lo!
Falsehood vanishes, withers away,
My soul is sprung alive as day,
A soothing stroke to stop unrest,
A beautiful sign, a book so blessed,
A message quite clear and manifest,
Explained, perfected and preserved,
A plain reminder unreserved,
Divine and noble, full of power,
Awe-inspiring, a great honour,
Tranquility flows to let unbind,
Resplendence rings out in my mind,
The sunset peaceful, quite serene,
Dawn is grand, a striking scene,
Surrounds me like the whistling breeze,
Floods through me like rivers and seas,
Fills me with the warmest love,
Hope and fear of Him so high above,
Forever I wish to hear its sound,
The rhythm resonates all around,
Gold and silver’s meaningless,
Realise where lies all goodness,
Success and salvation is inside
The Final Revelation to mankind.
