poem below
From Tangier's shores I took my departure.

The unseen world stirred my heart.

From the big cities to huge marketplaces,

On Islam's rich tapestry did I ride.

In Cairo's streets, pride was piled high.

The mosques against the desert sky.

A perfect environment, an obdurate race.

It lives in each and every prayer.

Then, a complete, full-fledged Damascus appeared.

A site of commerce, a site of pilgrimage.

The minarets, above, like shining stars.

Received with appeals for faith and love.

I traveled on to faraway Baghdad.

Where all scholars shared whatever they had.

A knowledge hub for enlightened thinking.

The light of Islamic civilization.

From the Malian sands to green India

I observed the influence of Islam's radiance.

Religious scatter in every society:

With golden commerce, and with daily bread.

Every righteous ruler and every blessed city Whose might no man can resist. A golden age from east to
west. Unfurled as some wondrous page.
