Mirror of God’s grace


Ghadir, it is, and the world is filled with happiness

Existence is immerged in gladness and eagerness;


Singing melody of beings in heavens

Reaches down to earth, from up in heavens;


Pleased, Shia’h is among the earthlings

Because, Shia’h is doubt free in its believings;


The doubt-free whose way is God to love and obey

The doubt-free whose Lord is Ali’s chosen progeny;


O’ the honor of God-lovers, Ghadir!

O’ the pond of overflowing guidance, Ghadir!


Fountain of life which Alexander found not

It is you and towards you, hurry must;


Zamzam and Kaothar, When better than you?

They gain their respect from you;


Created, When God the Universe

From your drops, was its essence;


That which brings everything to life, it is water

Not from any mirage, but from Ghadir’s water;


It’s been here, this pond, from the beginning

It’s been the mirror of God’s grace and blessing;


By this pond of garden of heavens

Formed, Adam’s clay, hands of Angels;


Pond not, but ocean of life

Vessel of salvation, by its side;


Washed to pray, in this Pond, Love

Gained respect from this pond, love;


Flew away, when a drop of it from Love’s hand

It became martyrs’ blood and fell on the land;


Sanctity of this pond, knows no one

But the Prophet and his chosen one;


Ah! If has any gnosis, Humankind

Will never forget this pond, Humankind.



(Taahereh Moosavi Garmaaroodi)
