O CHRIST-WORSHIPPERS! POEM BY IBN UL QAYYIM
3 of 3
وَ هَل ْ تَقْضِ ى العقول ُ بِغَيْر ِ كَسْر*وَ إحْ رَ اق لَهُ، وَ لَمِ ن ْ بَغَاهُ؟
Is it not logical for the cross to be broken,
along with the ones who innovated it and are crowned?
ً
إِذَا رَ كِب َ الإِ له ُ عَلَيْه ِ كُرْ ها*ُوَ قَد ْ شُدَّت ْ لِتَسْمِ ير يَدَاه
Since the God was placed on it while hating -
it and His Hands were fastened well and nailed?
فَذَاك َ المَرْ كَب ُ المَلْعُون ُ حَقا*ُفَدُسْهُ، لا تَبُسْه ُ إِذ ْ تَرَ اه
That is really a cursed cross to be carrying,
So, discard it, do not kiss it when it is sighted around!
يُهَان ُ عَلَيْه ِ رَ ب ُّ الْخَلق ِ طُرا*ُوتَعْبُدُهُ؟ فَإِنّك َ مِ ن ْ عِدَاه
The Lord of creation was humiliated on it and dying,
and you worship it? You are one of His enemies as those in the Holy Land!
ْ
فإِن ْ عَظِّ مْتَه ُ مِ ن ْ أَجْ ل ِ أَن ْ قَد*ُحَوَ ى رَ ب َّ العِبَادِ، وَ قَد ْ عَلاَه
If – to the cross – you remain exalting,
Because to the Lord of the worshipper, it could withstand,
ْ
وَ قَد ْ فُقِد َ الصَّلِيبُ ، فإِن*ًرَ أَيْنَا لَه ُ شَكْلاُتَذَكَّرْ نَا سَنَاه
And when the cross is hidden, then indeed,
Seeing what resembles it reminds of what happened.
فَهَلا ّ للقبور ِ سَجَدْت َ طُرا*لَضِّ م القبر ِ رَ بّك َ فى حَشَاهُ؟
So, why don't you prostrate yourself and worship grounds of burying,
Since, in the grave, your God was contained!
فَيَا عَبْد َ المِ سيح ِ أَفِقْ ،*ُفَهَذَا بِدَايَتُهُ، وَ هذَا مُنْتَهاه
So, Christ-worshippers, wake up and start seeing,
That this is what the matter in entirety – simply explained
