ALLAH HU

Allah Hu! Allah Hu! 

Save this soul of mine!  

Wandering! Faltering!

Helplessly, I finally come to you!

I have read the scriptures

I have said all the prayers

But I’m still filled with anger and hate!

Allah Hu! Allah Hu! 

Help me get over this vice!  

Worthless   I am; filled with conceit

Self pursuit and self glory, blind me

Lost in this self made misery

Allah Hu! Allah Hu!

Save this lost soul!

I have read the scriptures

I have said all the prayers

Now I surrender to you

Allah Hu! Allah Hu!

Fill me with eternal love

Allah Hu! Allah Hu!

 Destroy my identity

Make me one with  You! 

Allah Hu! Allah Hu!

Save this soul of mine!

ADHAN

The crescent moon is at the highest

The minarets of faith stand tall

In the earth beneath and the sky above

The musical words of the adhan resonate

Love peace and unity; fill one and all

As towards kibla, I humbly bow

All in the name of the most benevolent and merciful! 

GOD IS LOVE

Listen friend! What are you fighting about!

In this day of enlightenment

Why do you still crouch in medieval darkness!

Take away your blindfold of hatred

And see the world with eyes of love!

Throw away your divisive thoughts

And embrace the truth of love and compassion!

For God is all around you; god is all within you;

For God is manifested! God is Love!  

In the mystical dervishes of the Sufi

In the lotus position of the yogi

In the cross and the Calvary

In the holy ashes, and the flowing Ganges

God is all around you!

In Mecca or Jerusalem; Kasi or Gaya

Every man has a heart; and every heart has a spark of it!  

The  flame of everlasting love!

As the same sun shines high; in both the wilderness and in the green pastures

Jehovah and Allah; Hari and Shiva

Aren’t they but different fingers pointing to the same sun?

As the sunshine of love fills the heart of a true lover

What else is God but Love!
