PETITION, by ABUR RABI First Line: Kaaba of the generous hand Last Line: Who in your own mecca dwell. | |||
Kaaba of the generous hand, Shrine of bounty and delight, Sought by Syrian Arab, and Turkish Ghuzz, and Dailamite! Blessed pilgrims, who e'en now Blithely circumambulate Round your Holy House, and bow Supplicating at your gate. Strange it is that they, who hail From far Syria, fare so well To behold you, where we fail Who in your own Mecca dwell. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN HOSPITAL: 23.
