Al-Alim-il-Munafeeq (The Hypocritical Elite)

Though certified Professor of Sophistry
Yet moves to romance with Chemistry
For his gift of the gab and chicanery
The foxes he fools to feast on farms
Yet, the terrier he tames to trail the thieves:
‘Dig you more tunnels and hide your head
That the efforts of the terrier in vain may end’

With the hares, he runs yet hunts with hounds
The hare he leads to ‘protective mounds’,
Yet the harriers to the parapets, he took around
A plot to earn but ephemeral pound!

Ichthyologist at the sea thrusting forth the net, yet
Ornithologist in the forest searching for the nest
Like the birdwatcher bivouacking at night

He feigns to be an advocate of truth
But Allah testifies he would face His wrath!
