The reason for writing this poem
The writer HAZRAT IMAAM SAALIH SHARA-FUD-DEEN ABU ABDULIAH MUHAMMAD BIN HASAN AL-BUSAIRI R.A had become paralysed. His doctors and physicians gave up all hope of his recovery. Eventually in this state of complete helplessness and despair he composed this poem expressing the grandeur and excellence of Sayyidina RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wasallam. Using this as his sole means of asking ALLAH Ta’alaa to cure him from his illness. He isolated himself in a quiet place one Thursday night and with complete devotion, concentration and sincerity/ began reciting this poem. While reciting it sleep overcame him. He had a vision of Sayyidina. RasulALLAH Sallallhu Alayhi Wasallam. He told Sayyidina RasulALLAH SallALLAHUAlayhi Wasallam of his illness whereupon Sayyidina RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wasallam passed his blessed hand over Imam Busairi’s body. Through the barakat and blessing of Sayyidina, RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wasallam ALLAH Ta’alaa granted him complete cure from his paralysis. When he awoke he found a scarf or shawl on his body which he had seen Sayyidina RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wasallam place on his paralysed limbs. This resulted in the poem being named “Qasidah Burdah” (The Poem of the Scarf).
In the morning when due to some necessity. he went to the bazaar, a pious dervish greeted him with salaam and requested him to recite the qasidah which he had composed in praise of Sayyidina RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wasallam The poet said that I have composed many poems in praise of RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wasallam, which one do you wish to hear? The dervish replied: ‘The one which begins with, A-min Tazak-kurin (i.e. Qasidah Burdah)”. Upon this request the poet became wonder struck and said, “I take an oath that no one knows about this poem. Tell me the truth, from whom did you hear about it?” The dervish replied, “I take an oath by ALLAH that I heard it from you last night when in a dream you had recited it to Sayyidina Rasulullah SallALLAHU Alayhi Wasallam, whereupon Sayyidina RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wasallam became attentive towards you and because of its blessings ALLAH Ta’alaa granted you complete cure from your ailment”.
When the poet gave this poem to the dervish his secret became known to all the people and its barakat and blessings too became general for all.
When this poem reached Baha-ud-deen the governor of the country named Tahir, he so highly regarded and respected it that he would stand while listening to it.
It is also narrated that Sa’aadud-deen Farouqi, who was a viceroy of Baha-ud-deen, had became blind. In a dream he saw a pious person who told him to take the Qasidah Burdah from Baha-ud-deen and place it on his eyes. In the morning he told Baha-ud-deen about this dream. The Qasidah Burdah was brought and with full sincerity and conviction Sa’aadud-deen placed it on his eyes. Through its barakat Allah Ta’alaa granted him complete cure and restored his eyesight.

Ameen.
Chapter One
Concerning the love of Sayyidina Rasulullah SallALLAHU Alayhi Wasallam
In this chapter Allamah Busairi R.A. speaks of his love for Rasulullah SallALLAHU Alayhi Wasallam. He tries to conceal this love and who his beloved is . For this reason he has not mentioned the name of Rasulullah SallALLAHU Alayhi Wasallam, directly in the whole chapter. By mentioning places and things close to Madinah, he alludes to Rasulullah SallALLAHU Alayhi Wasallam. Due to this excessive love and devotion for Rasulullah SallALLAHU Alayhi Wasallam, he has become completely restless, thus exposing this love to everyone.
1. Is it because of your remembrance of the neighbours of Dhi-salam.
2. That tears mixed with blood are flowing (from your eyes).
3. Or is it because of the breeze blowing from Kaazimah.
4. Or it is the lightning struck in the darkness of the night Idam
5. What has happened to your eyes, (the more) you tell them to stop, the more they continue flowing.
6. What is the matter with your heart, (the more) you tell it to come to its senses, (the more it is distracted).
7. Does the lover think that his love can be concealed.
8. While his eyes are shedding tears and his heart is glowing.
9. Had it not been for the love, you would not have shed tears at the ruins (of your beloved).
10. Nor would you become restless at the remembrance of the cypress (tree) the high mountain.
11. How do you deny love after the testimony?
12. Borne against you by (such) reliable witnesses as your yours and your illness.
13. Love has ingrained two lines of fear, and withered your face.
14. On your cheeks like yellow rose and the reddish tree.
15. Yes! Thoughts of the beloved came to me at night and kept me awake.
16. And love transforms pleasure into pain.
17. O you who reproach me, regarding my love, excuse me.
18. From me to you if you do justice, you would not reproach me.
19. My state (of love) has been expressed to you, (now) my secret is no longer concealed.
20. From those who malign (me), nor is there (something to) check my agony.
21. You have sincerely advised me , I did not heed it.
22. For verily a lover is deaf to those who advise him.
23. I regarded with suspicion the advice of the elders in reproaching me.
24. (Wisdom) in the advice of the elders is above suspicion.
Chapter Two
Concerning restraining lust and carnal desires
In this chapter Allamah Busairi R.A. mentions two reasons for restraining of lust and carnal desires.
Firstly: A person falls in love due to lust and carnal desires. After mentioning love in the first chapter he now mentions restraining lust and carnal desires. He also mentions that his entire life has been spent in sin. He sincerely regrets what he has done and repents to ALLAH Ta’aala.
Secondly: Restraining lust and carnal desires is essential for gaining love for Rasulullah SallALLAHU Alayhi Wasallam. The love which has for Rasulullah SallALLAHU Alayhi Wasallam, is a pure love and can only be attained by purifying oneself of lust and carnal desires.
1. Verily my soul which is laden evil did not heed the advice.
2. Due to its ignorance, from the warning by grey hair and old age.
3. And I have not prepared, for good deeds, a feast,
4. For a guest (that) has lodged on (my) head nor did I honour (him).
5. Had I known that I would not be able to honour him (it).
6. I would have concealed my secret, which is exposed, by dyeing.
7. Who is there that can restrain my wayward-self from its waywardness.
8. Just as unmanageable horses are restrained by resins.
9. Do not try, through sinning, to subdue sensual desires.
10. For verily food, only increases sensual desires.
11. Your self (desires) is like when breastfed.
12. Loves suckling but when you wean it, will stop.
13. Then stop its inclinations and beware that it does not overpower you.
14. Verily lust whenever it overpowers (it will) kill or maim (your character).
15. And guard it while it is grazing in (the field of ) actions
16. If it enjoys pasture, do not let it roam (graze) freely.
17. How often has pleasure been considered good, whereas it turned out to be deadly.
18. Because he does not know that there is poison in the fat.
19. And fear the evil of (both) hunger and satiation.
20. For most times hungers (poverty) is more evil that overeating.
21. And shed tears from those eyes which have become full.
22. Of forbidden sights and regard it as obligatory (upon yourself) to guard your eyes from forbidden things.
23. And oppose (your) self (nafs) and shaytaan and disobey them both.
24. And if both of them give you sincere advice regard it as lies.
25. And do not obey them both (nafs and shaytaan) as an enemy or as a wise (person).
26. For you know well the deception of (such) an enemy or a wise (person).
27. I seek forgiveness from ALLAH from such sayings (preachings) which I do practice upon.
28. For verily I have attributed (claimed), through this, offspring from a barren woman.
29. I command you to do good but I do not command myself to do the same.
30. And I was not steadfast (on deen) so then of what use (value) is my saying to you: “Be steadfast!” (on deen).
31. And I made no provisions before death of voluntary (nafl) worship.
And I did not perform salaat nor did I fast except what was obligatory.

Chapter Seven
Concerning the Mi’raaj of Prophet RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam
Allamah Busairi (R.A.) writes this poem in chronological sequence concerning the life and mission of RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam. After praising RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam and mentioning his birth he discusses the invitation of RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam toward ALLAH Ta’aala. With the first wahi the prophethood of RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wasallam is proclaimed. In this chapter Allamah Busairi speaks of the miraculous journey (Mi’raj) of RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam to the seventh heaven. On this journey RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam passed the Sidratual-Muntahaa and was taken to such close proximity to ALLAH Ta’aala, where no other creation had ever gone or will ever go again. Allaman Busairi shows that RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam superseded every other creation in rank.. From this one can gauge his (SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam’s) exalted status.
1. You the best of those to whose court seekers of bounties resort.
2. Running the (mounted) on the backs of fast camels.
3. And O you is the greatest sign for he who takes a lesson.
4. And O you who is the greatest bounty for a person who avails himself of it.

6. As the full moon travels trough intense darkness.
7. And you continued ascending until you attained a position.
8. At the distance of two cubits length, as has never been attained nor sought.
9. And you preferred due to your position by all the Ambiyaa.
10. And Rasuls just as a servant gives preference to his master.
11. You passed the seven heavens with them.
12. In a procession in which you were the standard bearer.
13. Until you left no gaol (for) any competitor to strive for.
14. In closeness, nor any (room for ascent for any one to advance.
15. You made inferior every position by (your) advance, when.
16. You were invited to his majestic and unique position.
17. So that you may be successful in a reaching the most concealed.
18. From all eyes, and secrets well concealed.
19. So you acquired every (status) worthy of pride unrivalled.
20. And you surpassed every position which none other passed.
21. And extremely excellent are the ranks that were granted to you.
22. And uncomprehensible are those bounties which conferred upon you.
23. Glad tiding be to us o people of Islam. We have.
24. By the Grace of ALLAH a pillar which is indestructible.
25. When ALLAH called, the one who invited us (RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam) to His worship.
26. Because of the noblest of messengers, we are the noblest of Ummats.
Chapter Eight
Concerning the Jihad of RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam
Up to the time of Mi’raj RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam and the Sahabah Radiyallahu Anhum was living in Makkah. In the thirteenth year of Nubuwwat they were commanded by ALLAH Ta’aala to make hijrat to Madinah. After establishing an Islamic state in Madinah RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam was given permission to make Jihad against the kuffar. By means of jihad and tabligh, Islam became the dominant religion. Allamah Busairi in this chapter discusses the jihad of RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam , as well as his unflinching faith and trust in ALLAH Ta’aala. He also discusses his unparalleled bravery, heroic feats and spirit of sacrifice for the Deen of Islam by both RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam as well as the Sahabah Radiyallahu Anhum.
1. The hearts of his enemies were struck with terror at the news of his advent.
2. Just as a heedless goat that has strayed the heard becomes scared to a sudden alarm.
3. He never ceased to encounter them at every battle.
4. Until, by the effects of lances they were like meat on a chopping block.
5. They loved fleeing that they would envy.
6. The corpses which were carried away by vultures and eagles.
7. Nights would pass without them knowing number.
8. As long as it was not nights of the sacred months (Ashur-e-Horum).
9. It is as though the religion of Islam was a guest that visited their house.
10. With every brave warrior, greedy for the flesh of the enemy.
11. He used to lead an ocean of an army on galloping horses.
12. They would strike ( the enemy) with a massive wave of brave warriors.
13. Of every volunteer, having hope of reward from ALLAH.
14. Fighting to exterminate the roots of kufr and to destroy it.
15. Until the religion of Islam became of them.
16. Reunited after her estrangement, with her family.
17. Always taken care of by an affectionate father
18. And a loving husband, so she did not suffer from orphanhood nor widowhood.
19. They were mountains, so ask about them from him who fought them.
20. What was his experience with them in each contest (battle).
21. Ask (them about the condition of) Hunain, Badr, Uhad.
22. The verdict death for them was more severe than an epidemic.
23. (They made their) white (shinning) swords red (with blood) after they were plunged.
24. Into every black lock of (hair) of their enemies.
25. And they write (with arrows) in calligraphic writing (on those of the bodies), which was left out.
26. By their pens (lances). Like undotted letters,
27. Completely clad with weapons they had characteristic marks to distinguish them.
28. Like arose is distinguished by (characteristic) marks from a thorn tree.
29. The winds of help (from ALLAH) would guide you to their fragrance.
30. So you would think every brave man to be a flower in the bud.
31. As though they were, when on horse back like the plants on hills.
32. On account of the strength and bravery, not because of the tightness of their saddles.
33. The hearts of the enemies flew into terror (due to their) prowess.
34. So they could not make distinction between a lamb and a mighty warrior.
35. And the person who has the help of RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam with him.
36. Even if a lion meets him in its den it begins to fear.
37. And you would never see a friend not assisted.
38. By him, nor would you find any enemy, but in pieces.
39. He lodged his ummat in the fort of his religion.
40. Like a lion which lodges with its cubs in a jungle.
41. How many queries did the words of ALLAH have with defiers.
42. Concerning him, and the clear evidence (of ALLAH), disputed many a plaintiff.
43. It is sufficient for you as a miracle (to have so vast) knowledge in an unlettered person.
44. In the period of ignorance, and such noble etiquettes in an orphan.
Chapter Nine
Concerning seeking forgiveness from ALLAH Ta’aala and Intercession by of RasulALLAH SallALLAH Alayhi Wassallam
After discussing the life of RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam, his perfection and exalted status Allamah Busairi (R.A) in this chapter seeks forgiveness from ALLAH Ta’aala through the intercession and Waseela (agency) of RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam. Allamah Busairi (R.A) says that his life was wasted in sin and disobedience; he regrets his misdeeds and turns towards Allah Ta’aala seeking forgiveness and repentance. He uses this poem as a Waseela (agency) through RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam to gain acceptance in the court of ALLAH.
1. I served him with praise, by means of which I ask to be pardoned.
2. The sins of a life passed in poetry and serving (other)
3. As these two have garlanded me with those consequences which I fear.
4. As though I am due to it (poetry and serving others) a sacrificial animal.
5. I obeyed the misleading passions of youth in both conditions and I did not
6. I achieved but sin and remorse.
7. O the great regret of my soul in its transaction.
8. It did not purchase Deen with the world, nor had I negotiated for it.
9. The person who sells his future for his present.
10. His being defrauded in the sale and its negotiation.
11. If I had committed any sin my covenant is not (likely to be) violated.
12. With my Nabi RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam and nor is my rope broken.
13. For verily I have a security from him due to my name.
14. (Being) Muhammad, while he is the most faithful of mankind in fulfilling his promise.
15. If at my resurrection, he should not take me by my hand
16. Out of kindness, then say O the slipping of my foot.
17. I seek the sanctuary (in ALLAH) that he should deprive one who is hopeful of his graces.
18. Or that his neighbour (follower) returned from him dishonoured.
19. And since I have devoted my thoughts to his praises.
20. I have found him to be best sanctuary for my salvation.
21. His bounty will never escape from (my) hand which has been soiled.
22. For verily rain causes flowers to bloom on rocks
23. And I did seek the flowers (wealth) of the world which were plucked.
24. By the hands of Zuhair through his praises of Haram.
(Last) Chapter Ten
Concerning the seeking of salvation and the requisition of necessities
After repenting Allamah Busairi (R.A) now takes refuge in his for RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam as a means for his salvation. Due to his sins, he is deserving of Allah’s punishment but wishes and hopes that through the intercession and assistance of RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam he will receive salvation. His only hope is to love RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam and gain his intercession. Allamah Busairi (R.A) ends this poem by conveying Durood and Salaams upon RasulALLAH SallALLAHU Alayhi Wassallam, his family, Khualafa-e-Rashideen and his Sahabah Radiyallahu Anhum. He also concludes with a Du’ah to ALLAH Ta’aala to forgive him, the reciter and all the people who are a means of propagating this poem. May ALLAH accept this effort and include us all amongst his pious servants, Ameen.
1. Most generous of mankind, I have no one to take refuge in
2. Except you at occurrence of widespread calamity.
3. And O messenger of ALLAH, your exalted status will not diminish, because of me (intercession on my behalf)
4. When most Bountiful (ALLAH Ta’alaa) will manifest (Himself) by the name of the punisher.
5. For verily amongst your bounties is this world, and the hereafter.
6. And part of your knowledge is knowledge of the Preserved Tablet (Lowh), and the Pen.
7. O my soul do not become despondent due to your grievous sins.
8. Verily major sins when pardoned are minor.
9. Perhaps the mercy of my Lord when distributed.,
10. Would be distributed in proportion to the sins.
11. O my Lord (Sustainer)! Make my hopes, not unfulfilled.
12. By you, and make my reckoning (of deeds) not destructive.
13. Be kind to Your Servant in both the worlds, for verily his
14. Patience, when called upon by hardships (calamities), runs away.
15. So order clouds of blessings (salutations) from you perpetually.
16. Upon Nabi SallALLAHU Alayhi Wasallam abundantly and gently
17. And upon his family his Sahabah, then upon those who follow them.
18. The people of piety, knowledge, clemency and generosity.
19. (Then) be pleased with Abu-bakr and Omar (Radiyallahu Anhuma).
20. And Ali and Uthman (Radiyallahu Anhuma), the people of nobility.
21. As long as the easterly breeze makes the branches of cypress rustle.
22. And (as long as) the camel riders make their camels march with the enchanting songs.
23. Forgive its writer and its reader
24. I ask of you all goodness O You the Most Generous and Most Munificent.
