Peace Be Upon Me, A Ghazal In English Poem by Ravi Kopra

Peace Be Upon Me, A Ghazal In English



I have ill will for none, peace be upon me
I love, not hate, everyone, peace be upon me

I fight for justice, equal rights
For both men and women, peace be upon me

I pray without fail five times a day
I pray to my Allah, peace be upon me

I have four wives as the Lord prescribed. I love the younger
More than the older, forgive me Allah and let peace be upon me

I drink no wine. I do not gamble. I ramble in holy verses
That many times I do not fathom. Allah, let peace be upon me

I will turn every non-believer into a believer, I swear
Everybody in the world will have one faith, peace be upon me

I told my mullah, the son of Abdullah, he was a fine man
Spreading our faith, may Allah bless him and peace be upon me

If anyone has a malignant wife, don't divorce, change faith
Punish her with lashes. You heard it from me, peace be upon me

'Ravi' was not happy with only one wife. He changed his faith
To have three more wives. So happy is he now! peace be upon me.
