Abdul Ahad Azad

1903 – 1948 / India

The Stars Speak To Man

You ‪,‬ the light of lights‪,‬ imperiled the world
You discredited the human

‏You discredited the human
‏You trade in faith and religion

‏All the doors to the world‪'‬s treasures opened up for you
‏You do not share but accumulate this world‪'‬s wealth

‏We are all one‪,‬ one flesh‪,‬ nothing but One
‏Who put the discord of the Two in your heart‪? ‬

‏Are you a leader of religion and faith‪? ‬
‏You care for neither religion nor faith
‏But the whole humanity mourns your fall

‏Should we take into our heart a religion which divides the human‪? ‬
‏A religion which turns the unity of the world into a chaos and wilderness

‏You name mischief in the world ‪'‬religion‪,' 'nation'‬
‏What you call enlightenment is mere intoxication

‏There is a restlessness in the heart, there is a veil over our dreams
‏All this is an illusion. When will you wake up‪? ‬

‏The heartbroken, the dejected, my friends and well-wishers
‏How you destroy human hearts in the name of the human‪? ‬

‏You sprinkle the leaves and desert the roots
‏You are destroying your own house in the name of the human
