INTERFAITH HARMONY

His god is Allah and mine is Ram

Does that imply he means me harm??

 

Then why these misconceptions do we bear

Why, this mask of prejudice do we wear??

 

So what if he has a different surname name

He is a person still the same

 

So what if our faiths differ

So what if its Jesus he prefers

 

Surely, he and I can still blend

Surely, he can still be my friend

 

Surely there can still be harmony between us

I don't see the need for any fuss.

 

Just because we are from different communities

Doesn't mean there won't be serenity

 

Just because we are from different sects

Doesn't mean we don't have mutual respect

 

Just because we don't share the same caste

Doesn't mean our friendship won't last

 

In these dark times of struggle and war

Interfaith Harmony is the need of the hour.

 

We have to take a pledge to overcome

All barriers such as religion castes, racism

 

The race is long, the hurdles many

But it has to be won, to promote harmony.
