I was going to make a separate thread for this, but I think it's best posted here. The following poems are all from Khateeb al-Baghdaadee's book, 'Iqtidaa-ul-'Ilm al-'Amal' (knowledge mandates action). Forgive me for not typing up the arabic, but it's easier if I just post up the translation:

Muhammad bin Abee 'Alee al-Asbahaanee recited to some of them:

"Act upon your knowledge and you will profit, O man
Knowledge doesn't benefit so long as one doesnt't perfect his actions
Knowledge is beauty and Taqwaa of Allah is its decoration
Those with Taqwaa are always preoccupied with their knowledge
The proof of Allah, O possessor of knowledge, is immense
Neither plotting not scheming concerning it is of any use
Acquire knowledge and perform deeds as much as you can
And do not let vain pastimes and argumentation distract you
Teach the people and always make it your goal to benefit them
And beware, beware of fatigue and weariness overtaking you
Admonish your brother with gentleness when he makes a mistake
For knowledge is affectionate with those who are overcome by errors
And if you are amidst a people that have no religious morals
Then command them to do good when they act ignorantly (i.e. sin)
And if they disobey you, then remind them without getting annoyed
And be patient, strive in patience and do not let their actions worry you
For every goat is attached to its two feet
Have patience whether they are oppressive or fair"​

InshaAllah I'll post more up soon.
 
(Khateeb al-Baghdaadee said) I read in the back of a book from Abu Bakr Muhammad bin 'Abdillaah bin Abaan al-Haythee:

"If knowledge is not acted upon, it becomes a proof against you
And you will not be excused for what you carry (i.e. of knowledge)
So if you come to realize this fact, then you will also realize
That the proof of a man's speech lies in his actions."​

Abu 'Abdillaah Muhammad bin 'Alee bin 'Abdillaah as-Sooree recited to me the following verses from himself:

"For how long will I strive in seeking knowledge
Working hard to gather it and welcoming it warmly
Seeking to study from it all of its forms and subjects
And diffifcult topics, while not producing any deeds at all
If the one seeking knowledge doesn't produce good deeds
Based on his knowledge, he becomes a wretched servant
Verily, grasping the forms of knowledge only benefits
Those who act upon them whilst being a pious person."​
 
صَدِيقٌ لَيْسَ يَنْفَعُ يَوْمَ بُؤْسٍ * قَرِيبٌ مِنْ عَدْوٍّ فِي القِيَاسِ
وَمَا يَبْقَى الصَّدِيقُ بِكُلِّ عَصْرٍ * وَلاَ الإِخْوَانُ إِلاَّ لِلتَّآسِي
عَبَرْتُ الدَّهْرَ مُلْتَمِسَاً بِجُهْدِي * أَخَا ثِقَةٍ فَأَلْهَانِي التِمَاسِي
تَنَكَّرَتِ البِلاَدُ وَمَنْ عَلَيْهَا * كَأَنَّ أُنَاسَهَا لَيْسُوا بِنَاسِ


Transliteration:


Sadiqun laysa yanfa'u yawma busin, Qaribun min 3dwin fil qhiya's,
Wama' yabqa swadiyqu bikuli 3srin, Wala ikhwa'nu ila lilta'siy,
£bartu dahra multamisa bijuhdiy, Akha' thqa fa alhaniy l-tima'siy,
Tanakarati-l bila'du wa man 3layha, Ka ana Una'saha laysuw' binasi,


Meaning:

A friend who does not benefit at the time of hardships., Is close to an enemy on the scales.
The friend does not remain, during all times, Nor does the brother, except for consolation,
I searched the days, with all my strengths, For a brother to trust, but my search was fruitless,
The lands and those who live them were barren, As though its people were not people [I wanted them to be]

فاضت عيون الحب للعشاق فالقلب نار و العيون سواق
كل على ليلاه أضناه الهوى و أنا الهوى بمحمد ترياق
إن مر طيف محمد في خاطري هاجت بحار الحب في أعماقي
شوق إلى ذكر الحبيب يهزني فلتسقني من كأسه يا ساقي
أنا لو قضيت العمر أبكي أحمدا ما جف زمزم دمعي الدفاق
يا قمة الطهر المصطفى في الدنا خير الورى بمكارم الأخلاق
بشرى المسيح مصدقاً و مبشراً بالرحمة المزجاة بالإغداق
أنت الإمام على الأئمة كلهم في ساحة الأقصى بخير رفاق
لما عرفت حبيب ربي المصطفى صارت صلاتي عدتي و براق
فالله صلى و الملائكة اقتدت فاهتز كل الكون بالأشواق
فالرمل بحر و البحار خميلة و الروض أقلام على أوراق
و الكون قلب بالمحبة نابض شوقاً لأحمد درة العشاق ​
 
انا الدي عاهدني خليلي
ونحن بالسبح لدا نخيلي
الا اقوبالكيولي
اضرب بسيف الله والرسول

أنا الذي عاهدني خليلي ونحن بالسفح لدى النخيل

ألا أقوم الدهر في الكيول أضرب بسيف الله والرسول​

ماذا على من شم تربة أحمد أن لا يشم مدى الزمان غواليا
صبت عليّ مصائب لو أنها صبت على الأيام عدن ليالي​

Who is the "Qaa'il" of this poem? and why?
 
.. The person they'e refering to is The Prophet [salallaahu 'alayhi wasallam] after his death right?

Hmmm.. Could it be one of his wives? or his daughter perhaps?

I've never heard of this poem, is it authentic?
