Abdul Hameed had a character historians looked deeply into. He was given the leadership of a huge state that was in a tense and critical situation. He spent more than thirty years full of interior and exterior conspiracies, wars, revolutions, events and constant changes. Abdul Hameed himself expressed these feelings in his writings and poetry. Here is a sample of his handwritten poetry, which was taken from the book "My Father Abdul Hameed," written by his daughter Aisha.








The poetry translates,
My lord I know you are the Dear One (Al-Aziz) ... and no one but you is the Dear One
You are the One, and noting else
My God take my hand in these hard times
My God be my helper in this critical hour ...
