Merciful Lord, forgive This Nation Of Sinners Poem by Mohammad Younus

Merciful lord, forgive this nation of sinners,
Blow over us Spring breezes to-day and tomorrow,
Stop over us blowing dust winds and hail storms,
Give green colour back to our dead Chinar trees,
And remind us your lessons that we've all forgotten,
Stop our tongues from saying, that life is a vanity,
'Our Lord, give us in this world good...
...and in the Hereafter good and protect us...
...from the punishment of the Fire',
For we have made truce with you, that we shall...
take you only for our lord,
And not follow in the footsteps of Satan,
Give us in this world fragrant hours, and let us put...
...our noses on your immortal rose;

If the hosts of our enemy come and fall upon us,
we should boldly raise up our heads and to them say: -
' you are disturbing us, If you must play this 'Killer game',
Go and clatter your arms some where else',
Since killing only begets killing and vengeance, and
disturbs the world peace,
We've been given only a few fleeting moments in this
fleeting world,
So let us live in peace and harmony, and coexist like...
fast brothers and sisters;

If people come and flock around us, and preach...
the lessons of hate and fear,
Humbly we should say to them, 'This lesson of terror
is an embarrassment to us,
For no room is there with the infinite God for wicked
people and ruler tyrant,
Let us all together live in the spring-time...
When flowers come in crowds, and fragrance is around,
And the busy wings of bees jostle each other to buzz...
...around the flowers in their little heaven the song of peace.
