20th Jamaad Thani 1445 AH

In Makkah’s sacred heart, I embraced the Kaaba’s grace
And in Jannatul Muallah, I whispered a sorrowful pace
For Bibi Khadija, my soul yearned to draw near
But from afar, I bid her farewell, with tears that sear

In Madina’s luminous embrace, I found the Prophet’s gentle peace
And greeted Imam Zainul Abideen with a heart that finds release
Imam Jaffar Sadiq, Imam Muhammad Baqir, and Ummul Banin so dear
Received my love, as I whispered farewell, with a soul sincere

Yet Bibi Fatima-Zahra, my longing heart does ache to behold
Your radiant presence, in a Rawda of gold
A symbol of love, where our souls can take flight
A beacon of hope, in the darkness of night

On this blessed Wiladat, we celebrate your celestial light
The 12 Imams’ legacy, shining like stars in the night
Intercede for us, dear Bibi, on Judgment Day’s throne
Guide us with your love, to the gardens of sweet tone

Happy birthday, dear Bibi Fatima-Zahra, our love and adoration ascends
May your gentle soul revel, in a paradise that never ends
Tears of sorrow, transformed into pearls of joy and delight
As we honor your birth, in the splendor of love’s pure light.
