Colours of India

The day of Deepavali is a beautiful day.
We have a wonderful mind filled with love.
We will light the lamp of compassion and love,
To remove the darkness of enmity and anger.

Have you fully realized what Islam is?
It is indeed a religion founded on truth.
It is such a fountain-head of learning
That several streams of wisdom
And knowledge flow from it.
It is such a lamp
That several lamps would be lit from it.

Seven days hath every week
With 56 hours spent in sleep.
For 112 we spend awaking,
While 21 with food partaking.
Now we’re left with 91,
Down goes 40- There’s work to be done.
51 hours in our week remain,
I stand in church and sing refrain,
To enable the colours of India to sustain.
