BY ALI SHAH
Thanks do we give to our leader Umar
The best of men after God’s Messenger
Who patrolled the streets of Madina
To protect its people and honour
Like the hungry children in the desert land
Awake in the cold night due to hunger pangs
With Aslam, your companion, you reached in hand
These children are starving, that I cannot stand
You rushed to a storehouse to gather some food
Returning at once with large bags to brew
You prepared some meals from wheat and butter
The children ate to the delight of their mother
From tears to laughter into a peaceful slumber
Thanks do we give to our leader Umar
The best of men after God’s Messenger
Who patrolled the streets of Madina
To protect its people and honour
أ للهم صل وسلم على محمد وعلى آله وصحبة إ جمعين
