The five underneath the cloak
By: Aya Faylee
Underneath the Yamani cloak, the prophet let his family stay
Peace be up on their pure souls, to heaven they are the only wayUnderneath that piece of cloth, Mohammed made an immortal confession
A proof that they were the right road to follow, the safe directionUnder that cover he raised his hand towards the heavens and prayed
Announcing to the world that his love and trust in Ahlul Bayt laidTelling the oceans and the mountains, the sky above and the earth below
That he is from them and they are from him; he let the whole universe knowAt war with their enemies he shall be, and at peace with their friends
Angry with their oppressors and pleased with their faithful associatesThen the Lord, Almighty Allah to the angels in the heavens said
But for the love of the five under the cloak, everything he had madeMohammed, his last prophet and the best of his creation
The messenger who taught us the manners of a great religionFatimah, daughter of Mohammed and the symbol of modesty
The illuminated sun that shines upon us with beams of verityAli, the commander of the faithful, the door to the city of wisdom
The man with a heart of a lion, the non-believers fearsomeHassan, to his grandfather the apostle of God, he had the most similarity
A noble leader that walked on this earth with massive generosityHussein, the warrior of fairness, the bravest soul mankind ever maintained
Who taught the creation the definition of courage, how justice is obtainedUnderneath the cloak, they sat surrounded by the prophet’s sweet scent
Five souls who are our faultless guidance to how life should be spent
