Quddus

A man so young a man so brave
Set out to find his destiny
Communion with Him in a realm unknown
And he knew from His walk he had found his home
His number 18, the last of the few
To complete the Letters and pave the way
When given his duty he did set out
On a journey of courage on a journey of hope
And I wonder how it felt
To feel the hate of an ungrateful world
To talk to talk and rarely be heard
To ride into battle with His word
Oh Quddus with your heart ablaze
And a love so strong and your penetrating gaze
Oh Quddus cut by the knife
How glorious your death how glorious your life
The first to be lashed on Persian soil
All for the love of his heart’s desire
The prince turned away he said «Do what you desire»
And the angry mob descended and they took his life away
And I wonder how it felt
To feel the hate of an ungrateful world
To talk to talk and rarely be heard
To ride into battle with His word
Oh Quddus what was it like
Moon of Guidance reflecting all the light
Oh Quddus forced to defend
From the fort to the squar
