THE ONLY BOOK

The book that is imbued with truth
Knowledge, wisdom, enlightenment
For those who plumb depths of despair
Beacon of hope and contentment
For those suffering from malady
Remedy of rare refinement
Who lose their way or go astray
For them a straight path like a ray
It’s like an everflowing sea
With no single drop of decay
Inspiration for every heart
Insight and light with every pray

Like ceaseless flow of the rivers
Recited always on the earth
By billions of its believers
Cognizant of its immense worth
By millions of its receivers
Is learnt by heart with spiritual mirth

Uniquely true its every verse
Smacks of neither myth nor fiction
Forever that kindles a flame
Of confidence and conviction
Its brevity and eloquence
Unrivalled in style and diction
Strange and matchless literary art
That ever beggars description

The book, of course, the only book
Whose author is the Omniscient,
Omnipresent, Omnipotent
Whose favourite theme is the humans
Leading their way to sanity
Glorifying humanity

With balance of thought and action,
A clear sense of direction,
Galaxy of satisfaction
Will prove at last a reflection
Of the beauty of infinity
To resume life in eternity
The book, of course, the only book
With trillions of worlds for mankind
Is so well-known as al-Quran
That fourteen hundred years ago
Was inscribed on the slate of the heart
Miraculously of the greatest Man
Who is the King of Universe
Who is the Monarch of Time and Space
Who is symbol of peace and grace
Epitome of love and benevolence
Who is next to the Providence
