Medina Poems

Thus I Greet, my Heartbeat

Despite aspiring for the Beloved Meem in the sweetest and dearest of metaphors, Mujeeb Jaihoon still feels they are inadequate.

Curiosity in Love

Jaihoon invokes the spirit of Rumi to seek an answer for the voluntary, not obligatory, nature of the greetings said upon the Beloved of God.

Not a Scar

Destiny may allow the demolition of Ka’aba in the last days. But even in those chaotic times, Medina’s Palace will be safe— writes Jaihoon.

Mysteries of a Love-soaked Heart

Wine fell unconscious and the Cup shattered into pieces as the Rose smiled blushing when a Lover lingered at Medina- writes Mujeeb Jaihoon

Meem made me Human Again

As we fail in our Divine duties and are ashamed to raise hands in prayer, the love of Beloved inspires within us new humanity-writes Jaihoon

The Feast of Truth

Al Amin, the Trustworthy, has promised us a feast at al-Kawthar. The Afterlife, hence, is inevitable for the very same reason- writes Jaihoon

Intoxicating are those Meem-seen Eyes

Even the sight of those who witnessed the moon-lit face of the Beloved Rasool will sweep the senses of the onlookers- writes Mujeeb Jaihoon

Beyond the Beloved

The glory of the Creator can alone transcend the greatness of His Beloved Prophet— admits Jaihoon while returning from the tomb of al-Busiri.

Why need an Excuse?

If the night requires no excuse to put the stars to sleep, neither do the Lovers for praising their Beloved— writes Mujeeb Jaihoon
