Analysis of Stay with
Pray in open if you don't find time
In field, on the way or in hut some times
You will be heard and attended to
It is almost the sincere prayer and true
We often say “He is omnipresent”
Not in a blade of grass absent
Look beyond the sky and down the earth
You will find presence even after death
I hear “Allah -o- akbar”* from near by mosque
“I come to your refuge” high tone recitals from people's queue
Both voices merge in morning's silence
People come to know about Almighty's presence
Just listen to attentively the magnitude of call
It is not from priests but from cuckoo on tree tall
What an arrangement to feel in the early morning!
Same way to feel when sun descends in the evening
Many of my friends insist” Jesus is only one”
My Muslim friends unequivocally claim” He only and no one “
We live in same locality with honor and respect
In no way come in to clash when go for prayer's act
I close the eyes and ask for forgiveness
“For whatever acts with total innocence”
I find no excuses and surrender totally
It finds me in happiness really
I find prayers for five times a day
A perfect way of asking mercy in a good way
For he is the creator of all the living being
With benevolent heart and king of kings
I read those sentences and sink in deep silence
Almost feel divine with elegant touch and presence
I find him in me for whatever reasons
But as an example we are all good persons
We have no reason to clash over faith
It is inbuilt to bow over any single death
Remember his grace till the last breath
He shall not discourage you and stay with
* Allah-o- Akbar… God is great
