1) Seemay Imam Mahdi(A.S.) Dar She're Arabi

Meaning : Mention Of Imam Mahdi(A.S.) In The Arabic Poems.
Author: Dr. Mehmood Abdullahi.
Publisher: Inteshaaraate Masjide Muqaddase Jamkaraan.
Pages: 384 Language: Arabic & Persian.
This is a collection of poems in Arabic language along with explanations in Persian. On top of the page part of the Arabic poem is written and then its Persian explanations are present in the form of footnotes. The look and feel of the book is attractive. 

The poems collected are pertaining to eulogy of Imam Mahdi(as). This book makes a good reading for a person who has excellent command over Arabic and also has a good taste for poems. For others who have good command over Arabic but do not have the necessary appetite for poems so as to comprehend them, it is recommended that they at least read a few selected poems for the purpose of receiving rewards from the All-Mighty (swt.).

2) Book Title: Khushadiye Talaayi.

Meaning : Golden Expanse.
Arranged By: Ustad Mohammed Ali Mujaahidi.
Publisher: Inteshaaraat-e-Masjid-e-Muqaddas-e-Jamkaraan.
Pages: 280 Language: Persian.
This book is dedicated to the lyric verses in the praise of Imam Mahdi(A.S.). This book is an excellent source for those who have a poetic taste and background. It is an apparent fact that those who are not very much related to the field of poem they would not be able to utilize this book. 

This book can be excessively useful for those who understand the poetic language and would like to create and enhance positive emotional feelings for the Imam(A.S.). In fact, a shia should treasure such things which brings him closer to the threshold of Imam(A.S.) both intellectually and emotionally. 

The quality of pages used in this book is excellent. The background graphic imprinted on each page soothes the eyes. The quality of page and print and the graphic together makes the reading a good experience. Of course the spirit for enjoying the reading is that the poems are in eulogy of Imam Mahdi(A.S.).


Poetry and phrases about Mahdi a.s. In Sunni's book Reference :

The author of yanabi-ul-muwadda, on page 438 has attributed a poem to Amir-ul-mumineen ali (a.s.) where hazrat says (to imam hussein): 'o Hussain! when you shall find yourself alien in some place, associate yourself with its habit and custom! as if i see my soul and my children in karbala and its battle scene. 

Our beards will be dyed with blood just as the dress of a bride gets dyed. i see that calamity but not with my naked eye. the key of its worth has been given to me. may allah grant a good given to me. may allah grant a good reward to our 'qaem' who is the upholder of justice'
O hussain ! qaem shall seek revenge for my blood. rather he shall seek revenge for your blood too. so be patient upon your hardship and suffering '

On page 439. of the same book, he narrates from Imam Ali-ibn-abi talib (a.s.) the following poem:
'May allah shower this mercy and divine grace upon that valiant imam who shall make the army divisions of the polytheists object with his victorious sword. he shall manifest this religion on every part of land and will disgrace the polytheist oppressors. i have not spoken these words out of pride and vaunt. rather it has been given to me by the chosen one of al-e-hashim

Again, in the same book, on page 454 he narrates the famous lines from de'bel khuza'ee who recited it before imam reza (a.s.). he quotes de'bal as saying: i recited my ode till i came upon this part: 'the emergence of the imam who shall rise in the name of allah and his blessings is inevitable. he shall distinguish the truth and falsehood for us and reward the virtuous and punish the evil.'

Imam reza (a.s.) shed tears and then said: 'o de'bel, the trusted spirit has spoken through your tongue....

In vol. 3, chapter 366 of 'al-fotuhat -ul makkiyah' we see the following poem: 'know that the last of the saints shall be martyred and the light of universe shall become extinguished. he is the Mahdi, al-e-muhammad. he is like the hindi sword, a destroyer. he is the sun's rays which brightens every cloud and the darkness. he is the first drop of rain which bestows munificence and bounty.

The author of 'yanabi-ul-muwadda' narrates on page 416 a poem from the book 'durrul-maknun' of mohiyuddin Arabi. it is as follows: 'when time shall move ahead by means of the letters of 'bismillah', Mahdi shall emerge. after keeping fast, he shall emerge from the ka'aba. send greetings to him on my behalf.


Muhammad-ibn-thalha shafa'ee says in 'matalib-us-su'ool' as such: [in the twelfth chapter while giving account of abul-qasim muhammad-ibn-hassan-ibn-ali-ibn-muhammad-ibn-ali-ibn musa-ibn-jafar-ibn-muhammad ibn ali-ibn hussein-ibn ali-ibn-abi talib that he is the 'Mahdi', 'hujjat' 'khalaf-e-saleh' and 'muntazar'.] he is the successor and 'hujjat' (proof) who has been approved by allah. moreover, allah has guided him on the true path and given him his temperament and raised his status. allah has bestowed upon him the ornament of his grace and he too has put on the dress of virtue.

The holy prophet (s.a.w.a.) has said something which has been narrated for us and the one who becomes aware of the prophet's saying will comprehend its meaning. a learned person knows that news about the signs of Mahdi (a.s.) has come and the holy prophet (s.a.w.a.) has revealed the name, lineage and qualities of Mahdi. suffice it is to mention the saying of the holy prophet (s.a.w.a.) who said: 'the light on Mahdi's face will be from my light. the one whose place of care is zahra (a part of his own self)., none shall receive a position similar to the position which i have bestowed upon Mahdi. then, the onewho says that , he is the Mahdi has spoken the truth.



Apart from what we have written, there are yet other poems in persian and arabic which anyone investigating into them will become enlightened. the author of 'yanabi-ul-muwadda' has narrated many such poems like the poems of shaikh ahmad jaami, shaikh athar naishabouri, shaikh jamaluddin rumi and others. however what we have narrated is adequate.
