SUFISM-MYSTICAL MINDS ENTWINED.

This poem is a mixture of the last sermon given before his return into the loving arms of his Creator by Hazrat KhwajHa Mu’cinuddin Chisti (ra) and a humble Sufi poet, Hanifan

M.C (r.a)- Love all and hate none,
Hanifan- until your last breath is taken and gone.
M- Mere talk of peace will avail you naught,
H- put away the weapons and the fear you brought.

M- Mere talk of God and religion will not take you far,
H- follow the Sunnah of the Prophet and shine like a star.
M- Bring out all of the latent powers of your very being,
H- use them striving for Islam, then you are truly living.

M- Reveal the full magnificence of your immortal self,
H- you are dying not living if you sit on a shelf.
M- Be surcharged with love, with peace and with joy,
H- let none dictate to you, do not be a puppet or a toy.

M- Give freely of love, peace and joy, wherever you go,
H- then in the heart of ‘The Creator’ will your name grow.
M- With your spiritual light, become a blazing fire of truth,
H- fight with the words of God not with the claw and the tooth,

M- Be a beauteous blossom of love, a soothing balm of peace,
H- with your spiritual light, mans torment you can surely ease.
H- So with a prayer in your heart for the little ones of Iraq,
H- no more blood on our hands please, don’t turn the clock back.

M- Show yourselves in power, dispel the darkness of ignorance
H- healing comes through love, not with the sword or the lance.
M-H- Dissolve the clouds of hysteria by Bush and his lords of war,
H- instead spread goodwill, peace and harmony for ‘Love is the law’.

M- Never seek help, charity or favours from anyone except God,
H- 30 million Turkey demanded for Iraq’s men of the sod.
M- Never go to the courts of Kings or take from the fat-cat financier,
H- for these are the people who deal in misery and fear.

H- ‘O’ Lord, bless the children, the needy and the sick in Iraq,
M- when the widow and the orphan come to you, do not turn them back.
M- This is our mission to serve the people, dutifully and courageously,
H- to give succour, to teach and to nurture both humbly and graciously.

H- All souls are our friends, in the twin towers, we lost many.
H- so why are the innocent in Iraq being made the new enemy?
H- What is the agenda for Bush and the fat cats wanting Iraq?
H- Is it Bin-Laden, or the oil, or the Ayatollah all dressed in black?
