The New Temple

May I tell the truth O Brahman! If it does not displease you 
The idols of your temple have become anachronistic
 You have learnt grudge with your own people from the idols 
God also has taught fighting to Muslim preachers
 Becoming tired, I finally abandoned the temple and the Haram
 I abandoned the preacher's sermons, as well as your stories 
You take the stone idols to contain God
 Every speck of the homeland's dust is holy to me 
Come! Let us again roll up the curtains of strangeness 
Let us unite the separated ones, let us remove the disunion 
The heart's habitation is lying barren since long
 Let us build a new temple in this country
 Let our shrine be higher than the world's shrines 
Let us make its spire as high as the sky 
Let our morning's incantations be so sweet every morning
 That all worshipers be ecstatic with the Love's wine
 The power and tranquillity is in the devotees' song
 The salvation of the denizens of the earth is in Love
