Aftab Alam - Practice Before Ye Preach

Peace can't be sown on barren poverty field,
Like faith can't be put in food dreaming mind,
How much blood and tears needed to bind,
Cultivation without water and manure for yield!

Who the hell is fooling this world-preaching peace?
A restless mind, feared the death, saving the fleece
Calm down, have rest, be cool, think don't make fool?
Ah! Innocents are killed by both-ruler and terror by rule,

This is the time to think and rethink- what we want?
Really we need peace or simply we troll to daunt!
Stop manufacturing lethal armaments to destroy,
The holy earth, non can be spared; no one is viceroy,

Ah! Pleading peace hiding devil within lambs fleece,
Enough drama has been played, stop ditching peace,
