Patti, Congrats with this poem of the day. It seems like a long time ago we were reading and commenting on each other's poems. This is a good one. Keep writing, my friend
a poem to remind us of something that which is sacred to all of mankind? .............well written.
a forgotten word, a forgotten time....forgotten lives linger like raindrops on leaves that will soon fall! good poem!
The forgotten words Allah hi Allah kiya karo Dukh na kisi ko diya karo (Always recite the name of God and don't hurt anyone) has been nicely referred in a poem that I think is written on terror.

I congratulate you for writing such a nice poem though not easy to understand.
