The Islam I Live (Sufi Sonnet 1640) | Abhijit Naskar | The Divine Refugee (First Drop)

The Islam I live speaks of love,
The Islam I live is gentle as dove.
The Islam I live claims no convert,
The Islam I live warms all in hug.

The Islam I live transcends doctrine,
The Islam I live transcends the mosque.
The Islam I live holds no faith foreign,
The Islam I live finds good in every walk.

The Islam I live is a walking azaan,
living call to tolerance and acceptance.
Muslim poet am I, from the valley of love,
The Islam I live is the end of violence.

The Islam I live is an act of peace,
a promise of love, in a world of malice.
