The Imam of Time, Saheb Azzaman, Mahdi, One of a Kind
For all of us nowadays, In the 21st century
The word ‘peace’ is no more than a concept, no more than a mystery
Among the ‘ps’ that come to our mind,
Are poverty, pollution and persecution all the time
Words that indeed pierce the hearts of mankind
Words that echo in the back of our minds
In the time we live, In This globalized world
When the latest technologies and tweets fill the boards
When peoples’ lifestyles are packed in files
Of money, status, power and desires
In this time we live where fashion, fortune and fame
Is all what people gain and have no shame
Of moving us away
from what we should really maintain
When faith, commitment and Iman slowly fade
When we wish secretly deep down in our souls
That the darkness inside us would never be disclosed….
In this time of ours of ruthless crimes
happen overnight in every innocent site
And sorrows and cries are hidden beneath every plight
And warmongers keep on bragging about their might
Of all the destruction, distrust and distress
We hope that beauty will overcome this mess
We hope that one day the Imam of our time
Will appear…..
When the time arrives…
He’ll appear like a sunrise
And revive the sad shores of Of humanity
And sweep away mankind’s atrocity
It is at his time when rainfalls pour down
And the drowntrodden will be given crowns
It is with his appearance that dusk becomes dawn
It is with his advent that ‘right’ replaces ‘wrong’
It is at his time that our salawaats become strong
It is with him that our Fridays no longer become long
It his with this phrase that we will rejoice all along:
It his him, the last of the twelve Imams,
Mahdi, Qaem, Saheb azzmaan!
Yet dear brothers and sisters
The hope in hearts does not suffice
To wait for the Imam without any enterprise
Without making duas
or raising our hand up to Allah
Without lending a hand, without supporting the oppressed
Without relieving ourselves of the shadows that lie on our chest
Without helping the poor
Or an orphan that walks by your door
While we’re aware of this phrase in The Quran that reads
و نجعلهم ائمه و نجعلم الوارثین
I wonder how we expect the rise
The Imam of Our Time
Without standing for justice, without purifying within
How could we claim that we wait for the Qaem?
Day in and Day out, The Imam of our time lives by our sid
Yet we fail to recognize,
His benevolent presence, his remarkable shine
So go ahead,
Make your attempt
Do not fear
Of those who snear at you
From far and from near
If you feel alone in your pursuit of faith
Keep on digging, do not lose hope,
Know that The Imam counts on your aid
Know that he is accompanying you all the way
یا صاحبالزمان We plead for your lead
We beg you to free us of our greed
So the next time I pray for advent
I would hope to be among those who dwell in your tent
And I wouldn’t sit in misery and repent
For what I have done and what I should have
When I utter the words
الهم عجل لولیک الفرج
By Mrs. Maryam Sh.
