29 September 2014
This masterpiece qasida mubaraka was composed by Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA in the shaan of Syedna Abdeali Saifuddin RA.
On the auspicious occasion of Syedna Abdeali Saifuddin RA Urus Mubarak, we are pleased to present an English translation of the beautiful qasida written in his shaan by Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA: “Saiful Huda Saiful Imam-ish-shaheer.” The poetic English translation is by Shehzadi Dr. Tahera Baisaheba. Below are a few excerpts from the translation,
Ocean of generosity, cave for refuge from perdition, lord of grandeur
Forenoon sun, full moon lighting up the darkness
His knowledge was like the roaring sea
His strength was like Mount Yazbul or Mount Thabeer
His clay was composed of the clay left over
From the creation of the pure, rightly guiding Imams
