Al-Busiri


Born
Sanhaja, Morocco
Genre


Imam al-Busiri (Abu 'Abdillah Muhammad ibn Sa'id al-Busiri) was an Egyptian poet who wrote under the patronage of Ibn Hinna, the vizier. The most famous of his poems is the present work "Poem of the Mantle" or "The Poem of the Cloak." It is entirely in praise of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, who cured the poet of paralysis by appearing to him in a dream and wrapping him in a mantle. The poem is considered sacred, even in the poet's lifetime. Up to the present time its verses are used as amulets; recited at births and other joyous occasions; it has been frequently edited and made the basis for other poems. ...more

“نبي كامل الأوصافِ تمت محاسنه فقيل له الحبيبُ
يُفَرِّجُ ذِكْرُهُ الكُرُباتِ عنا إذا نَزَلَتْ بساحَتِنا الكُروبُ
مدائحُه تَزِيدُ القَلْبَ شَوْقاً إليه كأنها حَلْيٌ وَطيبُ”
البوصيري

“Love transforms pleasure into pain.”
Imam Al-Busiri, The Burda of al-Busiri: The Poem of the Cloak

“أبان مولدُه عن طيب عنصــره يا طيبَ مبتدأٍ منه ومختتــــمِ
يومٌ تفرَّس فيه الفرس أنهــــمُ قد أُنْذِروا بحلول البؤْس والنقـمِ”
البوصيري
