Kerinduan yang tak dapat diungkap..

Bila rindu tu datang.. hanya qasidah ini yang Ana jadikan pengubat rindu.. hati ni kadang2 bagai nak pecah menahan.. tak tau bagaimana nak gambarkan.. banyak mana air mata yang mengalir pun tak dapat nak ubatkan rindu ini.. tak tau la Ana layak ke tak berjumpa.. walaupun hanya dalam mimpi..

Selawat dan salam ke atas Nabi Muhammad saw.. kekasih Allah.. segala pujian bagi-Mu ya Allah kerana telah mengutuskan manusia terhebat dalam membimbing umatnya mencari cinta-Mu..

The reason for writing this poem

The writer HAZRAT IMAAM SAALIH SHARA-FUD-DEEN ABU ABDULIAH MUHAMMAD BIN HASAN AL-BUSAIRI R.A had become paralysed. His doctors and physicians gave up all hope of his recovery. Eventually in this state of complete helplessness and despair he composed this poem expressing the grandeur and excellence of Sayyidina Rasuluallah Sallallhu Alayhi Wasallam. Using this as his sole means of asking Allah Ta'alaa to cure him from his illness. He isolated himself in a quiet place one Thursday night and with complete devotion, concentration and sincerity/ began reciting this poem. While reciting it sleep overcame him. He had a vision of Sayyidina. Rasuluallah Sallallhu Alayhi Wasallam. He told Sayyidina Rasuluallah Sallallhu Alayhi Wasallam of his illness whereupon Sayyidina Rasuluallah Sallallhu Alayhi Wasallam passed his blessed hand over Imam Busairi's body. Through the barakat and blessing of Sayyidina, Rasuluallah Sallallhu Alayhi Wasallam Allah Ta’alaa granted him complete cure from his paralysis. When he awoke he found a scarf or shawl on his body which he had seen Sayyidina Rasuluallah Sallallhu Alayhi Wasallam place on his paralysed limbs. This resulted in the poem being named "Qasidah Burdah" (The Poem of the Scarf).
