Laud Him as "Reckoner," casting up th' account, And making little merits largely mount. Give more than thou takest: If one shall salute thee, Saying, "Peace be upon thee," The salute which thou makest, Speak it friendlier still, As beseemeth good will; Saying, "Peace, too, and love From Allah above Be with thee:"for heard Is each brotherly word; And it shall not be lost That thou gavest him most. Ya Hasîb! praise to Thee; for all Our good deeds needs must be so small. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CRESCENT AND THE CROSS by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 1.
