يا ابت انّي رأيتُ احد عشر كوكبا و الشمس و القمر رأيتهم لي ساجدين
"O my father,I saw the eleven stars, the sun and the moon.I saw them prostrating to me"
Was the speech of none but he
To his beloved father did he confide his dream in
Who in turn told him to divulge it to none-not even his kith and kin
This bond which was so deep
Made his brothers enact something so cheap
They were envious
As a result they thought of committing something so heinous
In secrecy did they meet
And they hatched a ploy-so discreet
They planned to either kill their brother
Or throw him into a land which was further
They eventually come to a consensus
And to execute it they had to become pretentious
They displayed for their brother some affection
And ended up gaining their father's trust which was their mission
Seeing everything going according to their strategy
They were elated thinking in scheming they were a prodigy
They left with him
Excited that the chances of being unsuccessful were slim
They hurled him in the well
Where they left him to dwell
So heartless were the brothers
That throwing him into the well didn't trigger any emotions
Alas they had forgotten that the Al-Baseer was watching
Everything they did was in accordance to His planning
He sent an angel to his rescue
Who came faster than lightening before time was due
He was saved
In the angel's wing was he cocooned
In the meantime his brothers dabbed his shirt in wolf's blood
And rushed home crying to disguise their fraud
They lied to their father
That dead was their brother
By the wolf was he devoured
Never to be returned
His father was grieved
His most beloved son had died
So much did he weep
Because of his love so deep
That he became blind
However solace in Allah did he find
On the other hand his son was found by the travellers
Who in turn sold him for some silvers
By the minister was he bought
Over time so much by Allah was he taught
As a minister was he appointed
And with wisdom he governed
Many many years later
Was he united with his brothers and father
All was perfectly planned
And precisely executed
By no-one but the Creator
Who's the ultimate planner!

و يمكرون و يمكر الله و الله خير الماكرين!
And they plan and Allah plans and Allah is the best of planners!
