Qasida Al-Burda

Qasida Burda is a poem in praise of the Prophet Muhammad(SAW)and is written by Imam Sharfuddin Al-Busiri. Legend has it that he used to write praises for the kings and rules and one time he suffered from paralysis and almost half of his body was affected due to it. In this moment of despair he wrote this poem in praise of the Prophet(SAW), the beloved of Allah, then asked Allah for cure of this impairment. He fell asleep while supplicating and was visited by the Prophet(SAW) in his dream. The Prophet(SAW)asked him to recite the poem but he said that his speech is impeded due the paralysis. Then the Prophet(SAW) touched the paralysed part of the body and threw his scard over him. He was cured and was able to recite it. When he woke up he was well and found the scarf over him. Hence the poem is called Qasida Al-Burda (the poem of the scarf).

What part of the story is correct or wrong, I don't know but I do that I really like this poem. Recently I heard this from Junaid Jamshed which reminded me how much liked it and then found the following version by Muhammad Al-Husayn, which is by far the best version I have heard.
