Description :

The edition before you presents Ibn 'Ajiba’s (1747-1809) commentaries on key poetic verses from the third chapter of Imam Al-Busiri’s (1211–1294) celebrated poem Al-Burdah. 

The poem, whose actual title is al-Kawākib ad-Durrīya fī Madh Khayr al-Barīya ("Celestial Lights in Praise of the Best of Creation"), is a seminal piece of literature sung and read throughout the Muslim world.  This poem decorated the Mosque and tomb of the Prophet in Madina for centuries, until recent times.
