To my Brother


"Let us stop this brother"
They told each other.
Come; join the party by the lagoon,
Allah is teamed up with Ram,
And Gurunanak joins Jesus soon.

They wanted it all over by either bank,
The banks of Indus and Ganges;
It touched the limits of Himalayas
And Suleiman Mountain ranges.

Let us stop this brother
They told each other.

They sent me down to live with you,
And play a healthy game.
This is not the true spirit,
It’s a shame.
Fight for blood, fight for land,
Fight for tears and pain
Is this we are here for?
It’s a shame.

Let us stop this brother
They told each other.

My Allah feels hurt, Ram seems so estranged.
The city is bleeding to death
Is this what you gained?
I know they didn't teach you so,
To harm thy friends and not your foe,
Bury your tools and the knife;
They will love you again, I ‘m sure;

Let us stop this, my brother
They told each other again.
