Come To the Right

Shun the evil, follow the right
Kick the devil command on right
Life in death, they preach them
Kill the innocent they teach them
Dark clouds resided in their minds
With cruelty and wildness
With ignorance and blindness
What is right and what is wrong
They have no such a song
Lack of feelings and emotions
Just rule of destruction's
Shun the evil, follow the right
Kick the devil command on right
Forgotten the aim of life
Truth of life, right of life
Life is obscure, minds are gloomy
No one secure, hearts say sadly
Life in death, they preach them
Kill the innocent they teach them
Open your eyes with gentle sight
Shun the evil, come to the right
Don’t be so merciless
Don’t be so pitiless
Shun- - - off the devilishness
Shun- - - off the fierceness
Open your eyes with gentle sight
Shun the evil, come to the right.

I read the response you posted here. Hopefully, we will get to a point where we can all live together in peace. I personally think the solution is for us to create a world where most of us feel as though we have a stake in a decent future. That would require a sacrifice on the part of the wealthiest and most powerful among us. We'll see what happens.

I wrote this poem in those days when Pakistan was contending with overwhelming terrorist attacks. Our university Voice Chancellor had been kidnapped by evil terrorists. Atmosphere was very much depressive and gloomy. Terrorists had started targeting educational institutes in Pakistan and they're still doing so. They are targeting the mosques, schools, colleges, universities and other public places. They are targeting innocent people from every race. These are all the reasons which inspired me to convey my message through this poem.

Thank you sir :) The very important thing every one should know about Islam. Islam is the religion of peace. Terrorists are destroying the honor, truth and dignity of Islam. So many corrupt Muslims and non-Muslims are working in this mission against Islam, for the Insult of Islam.

It's what's called a moral dilemma. We have to treat each other with respect to expect the same in return. Hatred is such unpleasantness. If you are immersed in it, it must be so difficult. We have it everywhere as well, however, it's moderated and below the surface because enough of us still live well.

Thanks for reading sir. Actually I wrote this poem in November 2008. I was on the way to home from my University. In Suzuki car, where I started writing this poem. In those days Pakistan was facing many suicide bomber attacks. Our university Voice Canceller was kidnapped by evil terrorists. Atmosphere was very much depressive and gloomy. Terrorists were targeting educational institutes in Pakistan. Still they are doing this. They are targeting the mosques, Islamic madrasas, markets, schools, colleges, universities they are targeting innocent people from every race, these all are the reasons which inspired me to convey my message through this poem. They are enemies of all humanity. May Allah save all humanity from cruel enemies. Amen.
