English Translation

 A New Altar

O Brahman! Should I speak the truth if you don't mind?

The idols of your temples have gone antiquated.

You've learnt, from the idols, to harbor animosity towards our own people;

the God too has taught his preacher the ways of violence and war.

Having got fed-up I left temple as well as mosque;

[I] left attending the lecture of the preacher as well as your story-sessions.

You think that God resides in the stone idols

Each speck of the motherland is God to me.

Come, let's, once again, remove the curtains of unacquaintedness;

let's help the separated beings meet again [and] remove the motif of duality.

The territory of heart is vacuous for a long time.

Come, let's make a new shrine in this land.

Our shrine should be taller than all the shrines of the world!

We should make its spire touch the edge of the sky.

We should sing, each morning, the amiable hymns

[and] make all the worshippers drink the wine of love!

[Both] power and peace are implied in the songs of the disciples.

The salvation of the people of the world lies in love!
