ALI (AS), MY IMAM
BY PROF. REBUAN K. LADJAKAHAL
I
O my leader!
You have made my life more meaningful and sweeter
My dwelling place you have put in your heart
Your heart, a lofty building of the Holy Prophet’s Teachings
I have already subscribed to believe in you as my leader
HOW FORTUNATE I AM!
II
Leader’s prayers and thoughts ever fresh in my mind
O my leader!
Discard me not from the list of your true followers
I have nowhere to go but your Ark
Filled with errors though my life
I have come to your door for love and rescue
HOW FORTUNATE I AM!
III
Imam’s prayers and thoughts ever fresh in my mind
His love for me is more than I can ever love him
O my leader please guide me to the TRUE PATH so that
I may grow stronger in my Faith
HOW FAVORABLE WILL IT BE!
IV
O my brothers and sisters listen to me!
You must remember that the Imam loves you more
than you can ever love him
And you must be strong and steadfast in this knowledge
For this will certainly help us on JUDGEMENT DAY.
V
O MY IMAM!
Please help me reach the point of loving you very well
Indeed, the light that shines all over my face is obtained from your generosity
Now, I must confess
Only the light of Muhammad and his Holy Ahlul Bayt can
make my true faith grow stronger
VI
I am but a weak slave of Allah
Striving hard with prayers for guidance
Without doubt, you are divinely sent as the true guide
O my Imam, please help me board unto thy Ark.
