Oh what to speak of the book of Allah
Light upon light from the one true ilah
From among its gems is this bright one
A light between two Fridays, if you recite it then, you would have won
Beginning with a story of wonder
For three hundred adding nine years, did the youth slumber
He is able to do all things is your lesson
When you seek refuge with Him, miracles He will make happen
Firmness in the truth in the youth is a blessing
So when young, the pleasures of the world, stop chasing
Then comes the story of the boastful one, full of delusion
Never will his wealth end was his illusion
With pride he talked about being greater to his companion
But Alas! There came upon his gardens a destruction unlike any in the dominion.
Don't disbelieve in the resurrection
That's your second lesson
The tale of knowledge is what comes third,
I will not give up traveling until I find what I seek, from Musa (a.s) it was heard
Until he found what he sought
To have patience, he was taught
Three mysterious actions
First In a ship a defect was made
Second "An innocent boy you have killed," Musa (a.s) said
Third an inhospitable town's wall was rebuilt free of charge
Musa's (a.s) impatience now growing large
An explanation was given by Al Khidr for each
First a King who seized by force every ship, did he teach
By rebellion will oppress the boy his pious parents was second
A better child Allah will replace, closer to mercy , on that he depends
Third a treasure beneath the wall he wanted to protect
It belonged to two orphan boys, righteous was their father, so did Rasulullah (s.a) regret
That Musa (a.s) could not have more patience
So this is the explanation, fascinating equations
Now comes the story of Dhul Qarnain
Established on the earth he was, power from Allah did he gain
Travelling and coming upon a people
"We are oppressed by a people given to evil"
Asking for his help and protection from them all
Dhul Qarnain with the help of men built a wall
"None can scale it except for when the promise of my Lord will come to pass"
Ya'juj and Ma'juj, a sign of the day of judgement, on the earth they will fill up and trespass
So goes the stories in this bright one
If the oceans were ink, the words of your Lord would not end is another lesson
A light between two Fridays, if you recite it, you would have won.
