The Sublime Vocation

a poem by Hyder Nayab

Lofty laws of self liberation
Teach us one sublime vocation;
By invoking life saving grace
With piety, truth, and devotion.

For this Almighty has ordained
Some solemn functions on mankind
Which if performed with due diligence
Shall set free the soul unrestrained.

So, let those who want this freeway
Befriend good and keep ill at bay;
While discharging normal duties
Get going on unsullied way.

Be good as husband and father.
Absolve true love of disfavour.
Pardon innocence of its guilt.
Fight foul play with grit and valour.

Moms, you too be good as spouses;
Take care of the kids in houses.
Nurture them with love and caution;
Let them not grow up as louses.

Disband forthwith dishonesty.
Incinerate spite and impiety.
Earn your livelihood and prosper.
Neglect not those in poverty.

Disengage your mind from malice.
Restore ways and means of justice.
Set in motion global friendship.
Dismiss violence, crime, and crisis.

Untie knots of perceptivity.
Step in realms of trascendency.
Open vistas of intuition.
Submit self before His mercy.
Such style of life and vocation
Would sure bless you with salvation
From all earthly predicaments, and
Bestow unto you liberation.
