DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK - Message of peace

Message of Peace
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Sa, La, Ma
From the Arabic root
Comes the word Islam
And come three words from this root
Istislam, Salamah and Salaam
Submission is Istislam
Purity is Salamah
And peace is Salaam
A person submitting in purity
To the will of Almighty
Shall, in this life attain peace
And hereafter grace
A person greets another
With ‘Salaam'-peace
He prays for peace
He fasts for peace
And gives in charity
To gain ultimate peace
He begins a conversation with salaam
And ends his prayers with salaam
A word from the Lord, most Merciful
Above a crescent moon with a faint smile
Unfurling the New Year
Bringing massage of peace and peace only
And how can I forget my dear
That peace and you are brethren
And come once a year
Bringing forth a celebrating green
Of hope, love and peace
Commemorating the sacrifice
Of the Prince of Martyrs
In the festivities of Muharram my dear
