My mother - my motherland is being gang-raped,
And I cannot bear this,
Help O Allah help,
Send down the "Ababeel" like you did,
When Abraha marched on towards the Kaaba.
For only You, O my Lord-God,
Can save my mother -- my motherland.
Yes...Only You and none but You...My Allah.
Author's Notes/Comments:
Ababeel: Birds in Arabic.
Abraha: The Yemeni king who marched on to Makkah before Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was born. He wanted to destroy the Kaaba...the first House of pure worship of the One True God by Prophet Abraham (PBUH) and his son Prophet Ismail (PBUH)...God Almighty/Allah sent the Ababeel on him and his 1,000 troops mounted on elephants. The birds pelted the army of Abraha and everyone perished...and the Kaaba was saved. An important fact in the history of Arabia.
