Last Homage to the Buddha at Bamiyan |
A Stroll on a Lonely Spring |
There is a time |
For How Long Will Thou in Slumber Remain? |
For How Long Will Thou in Slumber Remain? |
For how long will thou in slumber remain? Wake up, wake up soon, before it is too late For thy offspring who since long lost the path And mounting the peak along necropolis Who soon will befall upon the eclipse of Humanity! For how long will thou in slumber remain? Look thither thy children engaged in war internecine, Since long they killed fraternity, Dismantled the Pyramid of harmony And now they prowl in narcissism of insanity. For how long will thou in slumber remain? Give a sermon of homily, Summon thy sons to forgo evils, Bestow courage upon thy daughters to live with dignity, How can thou creep into oblivion thy responsibility? For how long will thou in slumber remain? The Devil in disguise sneaked into thy Home And in delusion divided thy offspring, They lost identity in its originality That thou imbibed in all universality. For how long will thou in slumber remain? Teach thy children their identity, Neither Hindu nor Muslim, Buddhist or Christian, Neither Sikh nor Jain, Bahai or Zoroastrian Is the name of thy origin. For how long will thou in slumber remain? Unveil the truth to thy offspring, Neither Brahmin nor Sudra, Kshatriya or Vaishya, Neither American nor Asian, European or African Is the name of thy lineage. For how long will thou in slumber remain? Sweep the world in turmoil by thy compassion, Cleanse the dirt of humankind by thy pure thoughts, Rebuild thy home by thy universal love And invite me to preside over the function of inauguration. For how long will thou in slumber remain? Wake up, wake up soon, before it is too late For thy offspring who since long astrayed, Thou are the mother of all, the roof of Humanity And we, thy children should promise to live in harmony. |
