Terms Of Endearment Poem by Syed Anwar Yarkhan Jilani

I can never compete
The Almighty Allah
To "love" His beloved "friend"
Mohammad bin Abdullah,
Rasoolallah, sallal'lahe'wasallam,
A prerogative He kept guarded
As the only One capable of love.

A rejoinder by Fowler and Fowler:
Love denotes personal affection,
Or of kinship or of ties,
An endearment or
An amorous episode but
More often a sexual desire
Rooted in Latin "libere" "to please".

For me, a lowest category human,
To think about, to hear about,
To speak about, to read about
Supreme Compassionate Prophet,
Fortunately whose follower I am,
Be equivalent to prayer and worship.
Loyal, dedicated, faithful and devoted
Total allegiance and committed constantly
As his menial serf in life and in death,
Honestly and truly I admire him
Adore him honor him respect him
With my heart and soul.
