“Ramadan Sonnet

Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim doesn't mean,
God is merciful only to the muslim.
The spirit of godliness that we hold within,
is meant to light up the world as our kin.
Fasting and feasting all turn mere futile choir,
If, for whatever reason, life is distant from life.
Celebration of Ramadan is celebration of rahmat*,
Ramadan without *compassion is Ramadan without life.
Ramadan is not a muslim festival,
Ramadan is a human festival.
Ramadan is a reminder to rekindle our light,
Ramadan is the end of all feelings uncharitable.
None of us will have faith till we wish for
our neighbor as we wish for ourselves (Hadith 13).
The reward for goodness is goodness itself (Q55:60).”

“Celebrate the festival in a joyous way,
repare yourself for Eid
In a heartwarming, special way

Stems not made of weft,
Nor designed to show off.
Wear the garments of kindness,
Woven from love, never to take off

Use the fragrance that's rich with care
Scent yourself with the perfume
of love and spread it everywhere.

Let your words and actions be soft as a breeze,
Be aware they cause no hurt, no unease
Keep kindness sweet upon your tongue
And share it with the world, old or young

The only action of affection that's right,
Open your arms wide, hug everyone tight

Ego, anger, and superiority—
Release them, set your spirit free in all
To friends, to relatives, to strangers, gift
Beautiful feelings to all

Celebrate the festival in a joyous way,
repare yourself for Eid
In a heartwarming, special way
repare yourself for Eid
In a heartwarming, special way”

“30 Days of Ramadan (Sufi Sonnet)

On the 1st day of Ramadan I say to thee,
celebration of Ramadan is celebration of rahmat.
On the 2nd day of Ramadan I say to thee,
the greatest iftar is to lift up another.

On the 3rd day of Ramadan I say to thee,
kindness makes moments holy, not date and time.
On the 4th day I say to thee, till we renounce
apathy, refusing 'interest' counts for nothing.

On the 5th day of Ramadan I say to thee,
helping a human is worth a hundred Hajj.
On the 6th day of Ramadan I say to thee,
service to humanity is service to Allah/God.

On 7th I say, true mercy waits for no month.
On 8th I say, mercy exclusive to month is fake mercy.
9. There is nothing uglier than happiness hoarded.
10. Light shared, is amplified, when hoarded, it's lost.
11. Breaking fast while the world starves, is no holy.

12. Dua without deeds is dua (prayer) of the dead.
13. Only kafir is the one who lacks kindness.
14. Real divinity knows no distinction of faith.
15. The opposite of sacredness is prejudice.

16. Heart is the first and final mosque.
17. Heart set on prejudice tantamount to Quran set on fire.
18. Abandon fundamentalism, and adopt tolerance.
19. What's fanatic is dead, what's tolerant is alive.
20. Tolerance is the awakening of divine desire.

21. Condemn none, convert none, for all are equal.
22. All streams spring from the human heart.
23. Reflections though vary, the sun is the same.
24. Tolerate no more bigotry to poison the world.

25. Surpass all fear, and share a date.
26. Date shared is bloodshed spared.
27. Dogma deserted is harmony harvested.
28. Ramadan is the end of fear and hatred.

On the eve of Eid, I bear reminder - for one
who lives with kindness, everyday is Ramadan.
On Eid al-Fitr, I stand as a promise -
in celebrating each other we rise human.”

“Merhem-e Manavta (Sufi Sonnet)

Where there is no muslim, non-muslim -
where there is no believer, non-believer -
where all distances are conquered by heart,
outgrowing myths one emerges Merhem-e Manavta.

Compulsion of religion is a thing of the past,
conversion of faith, trivial as changing clothes;
mark of a holy being is not belief, but behavior -
clothes, creed, all wither, not character's glow.

Christian on Sunday, Atheist on Monday,
Buddhist on Tuesday, Sikh on Wednesday,
Hindu on Thursday, Muslim on Friday,
Jewish on Saturday, try the rest the next day.

Love speaks louder than faith,
kindness speaks louder than scripture.
Service is sanctity, my Eid al-Adha -
tolerance is my azaan, my Eid al-Fitr.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets: Naskar Art of Theology

“Service is sanctity, my Eid al-Adha - tolerance is my azaan, my Eid al-Fitr.”

“Eid ul-Adha is not only about sacrificing an animal. Before we sacrifice the animal, we must first put a knife to our pride, our selfishness, and our ego. We must slaughter the animals living inside our hearts, our minds, our thoughts, and our personalities, so we can attain the true meaning of Eid ul-Adha. May Allah accept all our good deeds and prayers.”

“There is not one but two India, Animal India and Human India - Animal India carries Gita like Gun, Human India celebrates Diwali, breaks bread on Iftar, and sings Merry Christmas, with Gurbani.”

“India Beyond Saffron
(Sanyasi Scientist Sonnet)

Ananta (Eternity) knows no foreign-sanatan,
either Hindutva or Human -
saffron was never the color of India,
India is the most spectacular rainbow
among the ancient of civilizations.

There is not one but two India,
Animal India and Human India -
Animal India carries Gita like Gun,
Human India celebrates Diwali,
breaks bread on Iftar,
and sings Merry Christmas, with Gurbani.

An Indian is pluralism personified,
take away pluralism, and you're left
with a monkey draped in saffron.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot
