Truth borrows its hue from the Beloved Meem, who is the absolute testimonial for Reality, writes Mujeeb Jaihoon

“Once, to the gathering
Of Al Ameen,
Approached a stranger
In white-clad, unknown.

The stranger asked about
The pillars of faith
And about matters of
Head and heart.

To every reply,
He confirmed,
‘Truth indeed
Have you said.’

For a short time,
They conversed,
After which to nowhere
He traversed.

Those seated around wondered,
On this mystery pondered:

How could this man confirm
Answers to his questions unknown?

I listened to this
Strange story last night.
Behold! Love solved it
Sans any wait.

Meem bears witness,
For Truth’s essence.

It could only be Truth
If flows from his sweet mouth.

He is the Sun, and
Truth, the Moon.

Truth borrows its hue
From Al Ameen, the True.

Truth can stand on its own
If from al-Ameen was its dawn.

Mustafa is
The Majestic Mirror,
Where Truth reflects
Pure and clear.”
