The Poems of Lady Khadijah (p) About the Prophet (p)
Sixth Poem — When She Prepared the Travel Garment for the Prophet
❝اوتیت من شرف الجمال فنوناً
و لقد فتنت بها القلوب فتونـاً❞
You have been granted arts of beauty from the nobility of loveliness; and with them you have captivated hearts completely.
❝قـد کوّنت للحسن فیـک جواهر فیها
دعیت الجوهر المکنوناً❞
For the goodness of beauty, jewels have been formed within you, containing within them a hidden, treasured pearl.
🦌 ❝یا من اعار الظبّی فی فلواته
للحسن جیـداً سامیاً و جفوناً❞
O you who lent to the desert gazelles their slender, graceful necks and beautiful eyes.
💧 ❝نظر الی جسـمی التحیل و کیف
قد اجریت من دمع العیون عیوناً❞
Look at my weak, wasted body, and see how from the tears of my eyes I have made springs flow.
❝سـهرت عینی فی هواك صـیابۀً
و ملئت قلبی لوعۀً و جنوناً❞
I have kept my eyes sleepless out of longing for you, from the burning passion of my love; and I have filled my heart with an anguish bordering on madness in loving you.
