@3Praise Him, Al-Haiy! the "Ever-living" King, Who to eternal life His own doth bring@1. Saith the Book: "Count not as dead Such as for the Faith have bled; Stark and red their bodies lie, But their souls are in the sky, Resident with God, who grants All for which the spirit pants. Joyful are they, resting there Free from sorrow, pain, or fear; Watching us who, left in life, Are not quit, as yet, of strife; But shall soon attain, to share Allah's mercies, and declare— Side by side with those—that He Showeth grace eternally, And withholdeth not the pay At the ending of the day. @3Ya-Haiy! Thou ever-living Lord, Be ours such work and such reward@1. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WHITE KNIGHT'S SONG by CHARLES LUTWIDGE DODGSON TO LIVE MERRILY AND TO TRUST TO GOOD VERSES by ROBERT HERRICK FIRELIGHT by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON TICHBORNE'S ELEGY, WRITTEN IN THE TOWER BEFORE HIS EXECUTION by CHIDIOCK TICHBORNE NOCTURNE by JOHN VAN ALSTYN WEAVER AND THE DREAMERS OF DREAMS by JOHN OSCAR BECK |
