All I Want Is Peace Poem by Matloob Bokhari

ALL I WANT IS PEACE
O my tulip-cheeked beloved!
Give me infinite peace of the sky,
Or give me insane roots to lose my sanity.
Here no one is to dance with the rhythm of universe;
No dreamer to dream the beauty of His creation;
No painter to paint the rainbow of his imagination;
No grandma to tell the story of Adam and Eve;
No grandpa to tell the story of Joseph and Zulaikha;
No painter to portray the crystal palace, Sheba and Solomon;
No teacher to liberate the minds from dogmas.
O moon of my delight! O my queen!
Here the bed of tulips of the exploiter
Is decorated by the blood of the poor.
The dark clouds of dogma have wrapped the golden beams of truth
O lily of my valley!
Let us build a new world in the woods with roses.
Let us dance with butterflies, pray with fragrant petals.
Let our hearts spread aroma of beauty every where
Let our thoughts radiate the perfume of fragrance in all directions
Let the light of our thoughts lighten truth in the minds of humanity
Let our souls sing with the flowing river of love
Let us listen the echo of stones, play with stars.
Let us read God's gospel written on the shining lakes.
O God! In Your name I pray
May the river of love flow in my land again
May the hearts warm with love walk in the rain again
May the sweet mercy reign in our minds, hearts and soul again
May we all become a family of love and pursue peace again
May the dogs of greed who divided faith of unity into infidels and believers die now
