ALL DAY LONG....My poems for Shahid Ali...contd..7


again it is a friday and the muezzin has called
the faithful to prayer,
i must hurry lest i miss the mercy of my lord,
up above the world so high,
like a diamond in the sky,
but no wait a bit
that would be blasphemous but,
the nursery rhymes are for kids
and kids have nothing to do with god,
only adults commit sins and need mercy
i am digressing yet again,
the prayer is at hand ,
all lined up sinful souls in bright clothes
straight up ,then they kneel'
then they bow then they ask
with chocked voices and misty eyes
oh!lord the merciful the beneficent
have pity on our soules and rest us in eternal peace
