From The Masjid-al-aqsa Of Sayyid Ahmed (wahabi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFAAGGEE| Not with an outcry to Allah nor any complaining | A |
| He answered his name at the muster and stood to the chaining | A |
| When the twin anklets were nipped on the leg bars that held them | B |
| He brotherly greeted the armourers stooping to weld them | B |
| Ere the sad dust of the marshalled feet of the chain gang swallowed him | C |
| Observing him nobly at ease I alighted and followed him | C |
| Thus we had speech by the way but not touching his sorrow | D |
| Rather his red Yesterday and his regal To morrow | D |
| Wherein he statelily moved to the clink of his chains unregarded | E |
| Nowise abashed but contented to drink of the potion awarded | E |
| Saluting aloofly his Fate he made swift with his story | F |
| And the words of his mouth were as slaves spreading carpets of glory | F |
| Embroidered with names of the Djinns a miraculous weaving | A |
| But the cool and perspicuous eye overbore unbelieving | A |
| So I submitted myself to the limits of rapture | G |
| Bound by this man we had bound amid captives his capture | G |
| Till he returned me to earth and the visions departed | E |
| But on him be the Peace and the Blessing for he was great hearted | E |
