The silent, suffering Earth’s long penance brings him to our shore | With a heavy heart and holy feet, the Savior’s at the door. | All scriptures of all times, the seekers, and the wise | The sages, saints, and prophets with vision in their eyes— | All voiced his arrival; now the churning of time is done | From the ocean of sorrow emerges the Immortal One! | The ancient Earth beholds again a sunrise bright and new | The Final Deliverer is here—sing victory, fear subdue! | The Siddiq (truthful) and Amin (trustworthy) whom Jesus and the Bible sought | The one whose path the Torah's verses repeatedly taught | Whom David, the sweet-voiced, sang of in melodies of old | The 'Mahamad' whom the Atharva Veda did long ago unfold | That Guest has arrived! After ages of waiting and sighs | The Jewel of Meditation finally meets our eyes. | The world overflows with light, with joy, with fruit and flower | With scent and color, stars and spheres, in this holy hour. | Earth prostrates in worship, the ancient shrine stands tall | But alas! Ghosts of the past return to haunt the hall. | Three hundred and sixty idols, carved of wood and stone | Sit upon golden pedestals, usurping Allah’s throne. | Unable to bear this sight—this insult to the Divine | The Prophet seeks the path of light, for truth his soul does pine. | To Khadija he vows, "By Allah and the Kaaba’s sanctity | I shall not bow to Lat or Uzza; only one God I see. | What fool would worship figures made of straw and clay | By one's own hands created? To the Creator, I shall pray!" | The virtuous, devoted Khadija speaks with him as one | "Cast out these idols, Lat and Manat, that the masses run upon. | Through your grace, the Light of the One has finally appeared | My dark night has vanished, Lord; the path is bright and cleared." | Slowly the Quraysh learned: Muhammad, the Trustworthy | Disdained the Kaaba’s idols, viewing them as vanity. | Moru Vaskor (Sun of the Desert)
