Express Fears Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

“Rab”* is the name of an almighty
We utter same name differently
Each region has come under different spell
To spread the name of almighty very well

Some of the people advocate religion and god forcefully
We understand their view point fully
But at the same time, we give respect to other people
Who profess and live with peace despite life’s struggle

We always find one and only one message
“Come to me for all your sins “and manage
The belief and customs shall not create any kind of bitterness
Greet them with love and smiling face

There is only one wish
To cross over from darkness
To the area of light
With no reservation or deviation slight

The imposition of will shall undermine religious tolerance
It will endanger peace
Bring halt to harmony and congenial atmosphere
This is all about for which we express our fear
