How can a praising poet hope to plumb the depths
Of its noble virtues and majestic traits?
These signs from God of what is real radiate into the present--
Eternal gems from the jewel-box of the Infinite, the Merciful.
-from the Burda of al-Busiri (the Poem of the Cloak) translated by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf
[Shaykh Hamza commented on this section from the Burda during one Ramadan. It was recorded and produced as Miracles of the Quran from the Burda of Imam al-Busiri in a 6 CD set]
not many people know about this CD set, but I LOVE it, i think i listened to it three times. i'm gonna try to listen to it again this week insha Allah
