You have come brandishing Jai Shri Ram's sword
Then move forward,
I offer you my head
Slash it!
In front of the sword my tongue won't ever utter
Those three words.
But,
If you have come with the sacred mantra of Jai Shri Ram,
Then here are my arms to embrace you,
Then don't walk in front of me
Follow me,
So that even beyond the borders of my country,
I fill the impure air with sacred echoes,
Of Ram's blessed name.
- Anwar Nadeem (1937-2017)
