Please Quiet, Hush! Poem by Aftab Alam

What fuss, what havoc, please quiet, hush!
Don’t fight, don’t quarrel, fetch laurels
The lorry of faith got the snag, repair lush
O blunt faith, blinded with eyes, where dwells?

On this earth or heaven or hell, tell me dear
O dear! Ocean that roar, cloud that thunder,
We, with our folly, always do blinded blunder
How long humanity will bleed, how long we bear!

Awake, awake from the evil dream, bloomed
Morning sun laughing with the light, birds chirp
Praying to Lord for the heavenly gift bright, doomed
Those slumber caged with the sinful thought, work

Work for peace, for yourself and family and feel
Find like fragrance from mind how diffuses in air
All will try to inhale to enjoy for a peaceful joy
Pray! Mind to wind the heavens cord into the reel
