How Strong Is A Mother’s Love?
A Poem Taught At The AlMaghrib Class, Rules of Engagement
One day a man with an evil intention
deceived a boy with some money,
wishing to cause him some harm.
He said to him “bring me the heart of your mother,
and I will give you a lot of reward.”
So this ungrateful boy went,
stabbed her, cut her open.
He pulled the heart out, and was bringing it to the man
As he tripped and fell down,
the heart came out of his hand and got dusty.
As he looked up, he heard his mothers voice
coming from the heart saying
“Oh my son, are you hurt?”
Upon hearing the voice he was shocked,
He thought to himself “what have I done?”
He grabbed the dagger, intending to stab himself
Suddenly he heard the heart scream out,
“Please stop, my son, do not stab yourself and kill me twice!”

I absolutely love this poem, thanks for bringing it up. It truly shows the unconditional love of the mother, SubhanAllah. Below is the arabic version (which I love to read it in because the language is just richer

…..ابراهيمالمنذر…..
أغرى امرؤٌ يوماً غُلاماً جاهلاً
بنقوده حتى ينال بهالوطرْ
قال : ائتني بفؤادِ أمك يا فتى
ولك الدراهمُ والجواهروالدررْ
فمضى وأغرز خنجراً فيصدرها
والقلبُ أخرجهُ وعاد علىالأثرْ
لكنه من فرطِ سُرعتههوى
فتدحرج القلبُ المُعَفَّرُ إذاعثرْ
ناداه قلبُ الأمِ وهو مُعفَّـرٌ :
ولدي ، حبيبي ، هل أصابك من ضررْ؟
فكأن هذا الصوتَ رُغْمَحُنُوِّهِ
غَضَبُ السماء على الوليد قدانهمرْ
ورأى فظيع جنايةٍ لميأتها
أحدٌ سواهُ مُنْذُ تاريخِالبشرْ
وارتد نحو القلبِ يغسلهُبما
فاضتْ به عيناهُ من سيلِالعِبرْ
ويقول : ياقلبُ انتقم مني ولا
تغفرْ ، فإن جريمتي لاتُغتفرْ
وإذا رحمتَفأنني أقضي انتحاراً
مثلما يوضاس من قبليانتحرْ
واستلَّ خنجرهُ ليطعنَصدرهُ
طعناً سيبقىعبرةً لمن اعتبرْ
ناداه قلبُ الأمِّ : كُفَّ يداً ولا
تذبح فؤادي مــرتــيــن ِ عـــلـــىالأثـرْ
