Religion

Irshad Kamil

Translated by Tasveer

Religion of Fragrance…Only Colours can paint
Religion of Colors…Just the Dyer
Dyer’s Religion…Only the Cloth can feel
And Cloth’s…Only Cotton
Cotton’s Religion…the Farm can ascertain
And Farm’s…The Farmer
The Farmer’s religion…A Trader only can calculate
And Trader’s…The Money
Money’s Religion…Greed
Religion of Greed…Only Resilience can read
Religion of Resilience…Only Sweat can breathe Sweat’s…The forehead
Religion of forehead…On a worshipper’s bowed- head can only be read
Religion of A bowed-head…The Door of the beloved can interpret
DOOR’S
Doors have no RELIGION
