Abdulafees Aaqib Poems
- 1. A Friend
A friend is someone
You turn to
A friend is someone
Who encourages you!
... - 2. Al Masjid
I have never seen a place whose stillness is like the Masjid
A place for those who seek God
This is the place I go
Where Allah only knows
... - 3. The Promise
Verily, the promise is true
It was made by The All-Subtle
Why do you doubt His words
O ye people of this world?
... - 4. The Porter
I am the clay with no shape
In the hand of the porter
Turning on the wheel
I am the porter’s will
... - 5. My Beloved Country
From the second most populous continent
The eagle with 36 wings
Oh Nigeria, my country of origin
Giant of Africa, mangrove evergreen
...
