IF THE MESSIAH WERE TO SIDE WITH PAIN by Rahat Indori

(Translated from the Urdu by by Maaz Bin Bilal.)

If the messiah were to side with pain, what will happen?

If traditions of tolerance freeze up, what will happen?

These lakhs and crores who pray five times a day,

If they really turn vendors of terror, what will happen?
