WE ALL ARE THE DENIZENS OF ONE DIVINE NATION.


WE ALL ARE THE DENIZENS OF ONE DIVINE NATION.

Yes, inside every Religious Veins flows the same red human blood,
The same Almighty God is called Ishwar, Allah, Waheguru or Lord!
In every Room of the world, Nature, God’s Agent, is ever in the identical action,
Some call It a Desh; some address a Mulk while some others name it a Nation!

Yes, everyone feels the same twitching pain when pricked or pinched,
Everyone feels the same delight when a prestigious Prize is clinched!
Everyone is quickly quenched by the same water, Nature’s Nectar,
Everywhere, for everyone, the same food, clothing and shelter matter!

Wherever you go, sugar ever tastes sweet, and salt tastes salty,
Everywhere, honesty is honoured, and are punished duly the guilty!
Hell is the befitting outcome of immorality, injustice and indiscretion,
Whereas Virtue is blessed and bejewelled with a Celestial Salvation!

Let’s thus relinquish Religious fanaticism, extremism and discrimination,
So that we can surely feel, “We all are the denizens of one Divine Nation!
