Poem For Yemen
The land of smiles
How many will sit & watch your story
Till they begin to say
Remember the land of smiles
The land our prophet Muhammad praised, made dua for & loved
The land where children used to play, laugh & smile
The land of honey, magnificent trees & palaces
Spread across its golden deserts and shorelines
How the Great Queen of Sheba would weep
At the destruction of her kingdom
And Bilqis would sing songs of vengeance
How the Prophet would tremble for his people
Who he loved so dearly, he will push back us all back
So they may drink first from his fountain of abundance
How the Holy Quran will testify
For the land it called blessed
And referred to five times
How can we be so blind?
When Allah said they are a people he loves
When our prophet declared, I am Yemeni
When its people shout, plea and cry
Don't sit and watch
Till the day we may begin to say
Remember the Land of Smiles
