To My Muslim Brethren and Sisters.....

Oh.. my Muslim brethren and sisters..
Thine lord has sent you three books
Ye took the shortest ...out of laziness
And is reading it with closed eyes
From a restricted corner of darkness.

In thine forehead is the stamp of self deception
In thine mind lies neither analysis nor affection
Humiliated, thou silently takes pride in crime
Stands bewildered in the threshold of death and life.

Give your ears to the trumpet of a renaissance
Inject in your veins the spirit of Muhammed
Let the fragrance of the sweat of super man break forth.

Ignore the comments from the street
For most of them knows you not
Rest have fear lurking beneath.

Once the three books are merged into one
Nature, the beloved and the holy text
And the verse that proclaims 'mercy to the mankind' read aloud
Air of freedom filled with peace will decorate the land
Unheard melodies will spring forth from the desert sand
Tagore, Rumi and Blake will dance hand in hand.
