فی فضیلة امیرالمؤمنین عمر رضی الله عنه

What this poem says

These verses concern the exalted character of Umar al-Farooq. He is presented as a religious leader and a symbol of justice in Islam. Umar stands beneath the divine light, and in his affairs acts on the basis of fairness and truth. He is known as a link in the order of Islam and religion, and was praised by the Prophet himself. The poem also touches on such qualities of his as truthfulness, love, and burning with the pain of love, as well as his preeminence in divine knowledge. Finally, he is described as the 'candle of paradise,' whose light casts no shadow and brings illumination and guidance to others.
