Poem is culture....Knowledge is light

Dear All,

Poem is important to know cultures in various society. From poems, then we understand the belief, customs and traditions practised in different society. And I did kearn about Arabs culture from their poems.. I did enjoy it, since I love poems so much...

Here in one more poem that I loved so much from al-Shafi'i.

I complained to Waki about my poor memory;
Give up your sins! was his advice to me;
For knowledge is a light from God;
And the light of God is veiled by your sins!
