This is the ambition of Ibn Hazm, so what is your ambition?

[Abu Dujanah]

Imaam Abu Muhammed, 'Ali bin Muhammed bin Hazm al-Andaloosi's Ambition

My ambition from the world is to emit knowledge,

And to propagate it in every town and village,

Calling to the Qur'aan and Sunan that,

The men have forgotten to mention in the gatherings,

And to stay on at the frontlines a Mujaahid,

If summoned, rushing being the first to leave,

To meet my death forthcoming not withholding,

And the most honourable death for the youth is the slaying by a disbeliever,

So my Lord, do not make death in other than it,

And do not make me from the inhabitants of the graves

مُنَايَ مِنَ الدُّنْيا عُلومٌ أَبُثُّهَا ........ وأنْشُرُهَا فِي كُلِّ بَادٍ وحَاضِرِ

دُعَاءٌ إلَى القُرْءانِ والسُّنَنِ التِي ... تَنَاسَى رِجَالٌ ذِكْرَهَا في المَحَاضِرِ

وأَلْزَمُ أَطْرافَ الثُّغُورِ مُجَاهِداً ............ إذَا هَيْعَةٌ ثَارَتْ فَأَوَّلُ نَافِرِ

لأَلْقَى حِمَامِي مُقْبِلاً غَيرَ مُدْبِرٍ ....... بِسُمْرِ العَوالِي والرِّقَاقِ البَواتِرِ

كِفَاحاً مَعَ الكُفَّارِ فِي حَوْمَةِ الوَغَى .... وأَكْرَمُ مَوْتٍ لِلْفَتَى قَتْلُ كَافِرِ

فَيَا رَبِّ لا تَجْعَلْ حِمَامِي بِغِيرِهَا ....... ولا تَجْعَلَنِّي مِنْ قَطِينِ المقَابِرِ
