I am told that the Apostle of God has threatened, me, \\ But I have hope of the Apostle's forgieness.
Soft! May you be guided by Him who gave you the gift \\ Of the Qur'an with its admonitions and expositions.
--Ka`b (d. 648/9)
In Tayba are traces of the Messenger, and associations \\ That shine while other traces fade and their fire dies out.
Indelible are the signs in a hallowed site \\ Where stands the pulpit which the Guide used to ascend.
