A Prayer For Peace Poem by Mazher Hussain Abdul Ghani

"A Prayer for Peace"

All glory to you, O omnipotent, to you alone, the most high
Give us light,ray of peace and purity from the generous skies and great splendour
We, children of earth are being tossed among the squalls and gales
The wind of pride and jealousy blows us to the rocks of tribulation

O beloved God, protect us, as we find no other shelter for peace
We are sickened by the dangers of wars and terror
The loathsomeness of sadness and despair deprived our souls
We mortal human beings can't escape from the fears of sins and death

O divine Master, bless us the showers of peace from thy infinite blessings
The heart of mother earth is dried, it quench the thirst from our bloodshed
Innocent souls are burned stupefied, dying with thirst, hunger and pain
Some are weakly whimpered until they left bled to meet the death

O The Mightiest, earthly souls are longing for the splendour to annihilate their insubstantial state
Peace and love are your traits, lit that fire to burn the heart of the universe
Assail these countless groans to skies, and shower the rain of happiness
Shed away this moonless night, and open the bright light to ignite our inner core

O the Compassionate, the most Merciful, You are the Ruler of the judgment day
It's You that we worship, and to You we appeal for help, show the right way that leads to glory
O the Sacred one, teach us love, compassion and honour
Heal the wounded earth, and bless us that pure soul to heal each other

O the holy One, fulfil our desires to see the peace, love and contentment
Let's eradicate the evil, seeds of greed and lust from the soul of mother earth
This tattered face of humanity wants to see the radiant and sunshine
Lift this darkness of terrorism away, and purify the souls with the nectar of peace
