A PROPHIEM
KHAN HASNAIN AAQIB
Most people ask me, what is a prophiem?
Will you tell us, from where does it stem?
To praise God is to pray Him, I believe
So is about His prophet, you may perceive
Abraham, Moses and Jesus, for their age
Were god’s prophets and delivered His message
To the world, and its people that were astray.
Then the last prophet, in Arab, let me say
That sun rose over the hills of Faaraan
And oneness of god he preached, and that is Imaan.
Some words, in his praise, like many I write
Taking my poetic art to its desired height
Just out of love for him, in fact, passion
I tread a path, by others yet not taken.
For such poem in English, I attribute a word
This word, I am sure, no one may have heard.
‘Proph’ is for prophet, ‘em’ is for poem, joined by ‘i’
I am telling all this, before you ask me ‘why’.
A prophiem wades through the life of prophet
His deeds, teachings, his person, and events he met.
Although on island of knowledge I am an elf,
The coinage of ‘prophiem’ I owe to god and myself.

This is a special type of poem which i have devised and the word PROPHIEM is also my own coinage which means a poem denoting the praise of the last prophet. All poets and critics are invited to read, comments and criticise this poem. thanks. hasnain
I , too, believe that we must give a read to all the holy books which were revealed upon the prophets. This poem is the first one of its kind and is an introduction to the new genre of poems on subject basis. This form is developed only on the subject which denotes the praise of the prophet, as hymn is the praise of god. In most of the eastern languages, the praise of the prophet is called NAATH. But in my opinion, in English, this concept of denoting a poem to the praise of the prophet seems to be new, That is why I have trodden this yet untrodden path. This is not a prophiem, this is just the introduction of a prophiem. The actual prophiems will follow soon.
