Oh the people of my faith!
*****************************
I really feel pity on your wisdom and mind,
As you fall into the trap of this idiotic creed;
Such fools are born during every phase of time,
The history has never seen the dearth of this breed.
Your mad frenzy is giving a power to their fraud,
For you, they always try to sow the poisonous seed;
Your Prophet is celestial, and his name is sacred,
He is mentioned in all the Holy Books : One must read.
The ignorant can never diminish his height and place,
He is the universal leader : He will continue to lead;
But your violence is certainly wounding his soul,
You are giving him pain under the garb of a pious deed.
It is the time, when you purge yourself of the inside foes,
It is the time, when to his words, you must pay some heed;
It is the time, when you throw away the slavish instincts,
It is the time, when you rise above the worldly greed.
