In distant lands where deserts sprawl,
Rose Caliphs mighty, answering the call.
With hearts ablaze, like morning light,
They ruled with justice, wisdom, and might.

Abu Bakr, steadfast, pure as gold,
Guiding the flock with courage bold.
“Honesty’s the best policy,” he’d say,
To keep falsehood and deceit at bay.

When life brought trials like waves at sea,
He stood unmoved, “Let it be.”
He taught the world, “To be kind is wise,”
With mercy bright as dawn’s first rise.

Umar the Just, with an iron hand,
Held firm the lines across the land.
“Actions speak louder,” his rule declared,
As he ruled with faith, uncompared.

“In unity, strength,” he often spoke,
For he was the shield against tyrants’ yoke.
No word of power could shake his soul,
For Umar knew well, his righteous goal.

Then Uthman, the Charitable, calm, and wise,
With a wealth of heart, beneath gentle skies.
“Give, and you shall receive,” he believed,
His gifts of love from all achieved.

“Fortune favors the bold,” some say,
But for Uthman, it was peace that’d stay.
A gentle heart, a generous hand,
Spreading light across the land.

All the Brave, with wisdom profound,
His courage and knowledge knew no bounds.
“A friend to all is a friend indeed,”
Ali taught this noble creed.

“Knowledge is power,” he lived by this,
Guiding all with truth’s pure kiss.
When trials came, like storms at sea,
He stood firm, unwaveringly.

From desert sands to distant lands,
The Caliphs led with mighty hands.
“Patience is bitter,” wise ones say,
“But its fruits are sweet,” in each way.

So here we pause, thirty stanzas told,
Of Caliphs wise, both brave and bold.
Their proverbs echo, through time they stand,
Guiding us still, like stars in the sand.
