Whether your heart pulsates in view
of Ka’ba or Ka’shi
The Supreme Being is aligned personally
with both alliances
Vis-à-vis!
Whether you call after Him “Raheem!”
or “Ram!”
Upon both, the Supreme Being comes to
light
Equitably!
Whether this is a mosque or that is a
temple
To respect this and that is urgently
important
The purpose within each being
To heal one’s soul and restore all
love to His tenderness!
Society!
As
to these quarrels over superiority of Muslims
Or
the superiority of Hindus
All are unintelligent
Perfunctory talk! Negligence!
I believe we have become convinced of
this at least:
If you or I believe this and if you
or I believe that
It is analogous! Akin!
If and only if you enfold sincerity,
selflessness, and feelings
Will every door open for your aspirations
and prayers.
Every dwelling is His home. So
believe this and believe that!
Respect! All is just the same! Heal
from within and without!
