Psalms 5


-1-
Men of religion vary,
I said it,
I say it and repeat,
They sowed dissension
Amongst mankind
And promised it a new life.
-2-
You wish us to belong to ALLAH.
With benevolence surging in our veins,
Eyes which traded their tears
Were ashamed of such deception.
-3-
You wish us not to be debased,
And madly crawl after money.
Everyone’s life diminishes..
Nothing but deeds remain
-4-
To make us equal
In the eyes of justice,
You armed yourself with self-denial
You derived no pleasure
From the speed of lightning..
Nor did you fear
To confront the darkness.
-5-
You described the ant
And the bat,
The description of the Creator
To His creation
You described a hypocrite
Living off his lies
For which he opened a market.
-6-
You described a locust
Its eyes so red,
A description
Defying scientific knowledge.
How did you manage
To spot it
Amid the overcrowding!
How did you film it!?
And how was the film!?
-7-
You whose eyes painted a universe,
The shape of which puzzles itself.
With a little brush
You forced the colour
To narrate fables to your letters.
-8-
Oh Ali..
You know the secret of the earth
And its living creatures as well.
I live in happiness,
When I confess;
That you are greater than man!!
