In self proclaimed righteousness br I have made divisions br In the world of nature br Things which are beautiful br I have owned as my own br And things which I think br Are ugly br I have placed br On the other side br Who shall decide what things are good br And what bad br And some poor animals br Animals like wolves, foxes and jackals br And mosquitoes br Don’t they have compassion br Will not someone teach them good behavior br Where is that harmony in nature then br When I have already declared br Good and bad br When they know not br Did not Cleopatra used br Cobra’s venom br As a remedy for her sickness br Of love br Protect the poor animals br Stop hounding the lions br Let them have their long sleeps br In those shadows br Let the fish breath br Some fresh air in the deep sea br Let’s get silent br For a minute br For the poor donkey br Let’s open the cages br Of those sweet birds br Let’s be animals br Let’s live together with them br And sometimes think with them br Let’s keep away the camera on one side br And the safari cruise br May bring some good news br Without being photographed with giraffe br Or that poor lion cub br Let’s not wear their skins br And eat their flesh br They are br Our oldest friendsbr br Sadiqullah Khanbr br
