Poem for Imam Mahdi (a.s)

In The Anticipation of the Dawn You are called 'The Hidden Imam' because

You are out of sight, not that you are not present,

Being hidden, in the sense that one is not present,

Is an unjust calumny. Those who believe in

It fails to see the difference between Advent and Presence.

Your arrival, for which we are ardently waiting,

Refers to your advent, not your presence.

Your advent will be a great marvelous occurrence,

Because your devout lovers have felt the

Very pleasure of the long-awaited Imam (a.s),

On Fridays, they long for your arrival more

Restlessly, and face the Quibble to humbly supplicate

The Author of the universe for His favor to

Allow your advent come to pass soon.

And now, we, for whom you are the object of

Love and devoutness and the torch for our nocturnal

Mystic travelling, hum and hymn for waiting

For your advent.
