My humble tribute to #ReclaimYourMosques:
Aoo masjidon me jalaein shamein,
Haulnak andheron ko door karein
Ho Allah ke ghar pe na qaabiz koi
Falaah-o-sukoon ka markaz banein,
Na rahe koi khauf, na tafreek koee
Aman ki azaan per labbaik kahein,
Ikhlaas ke khutbe, ittefaq ke dars,
Jo zehnon ko sabke kushada karein
Bardasht ki safon me ho Allah-o-Akber
Mohabbat ke jazbon se sajde karein,
Parh ke janaza nafrat ke buton ka,
Maazi mein unko pher dafn karein,
Aao masjidon me jalaein shamein,
Haulnak andheron ko door karein.
Rough English translation:
Come, lets illuminate our mosques,
To drive away the fearful darkness.
Let no one take hostage the (essence of) mosque,
May they become centres of service & tranquility.
Let there remain no fear, and no discrimination,
As on the call of Peace we say, “Yes we come.”
Sermons of goodness, and lessons of harmony,
That widen up the horizons of our thoughts.
In the spirit of tolerance let us say “God is Great”,
And go into prostration with love in our hearts.
Let us make funeral prayers for idols of hate,
And bury them deep into our pasts.
Come, lets illuminate our mosques,
To drive away the fearful darkness.
