I wished I pray to everything
When I saw trees, branches, leaves, root
I pray they can get happiness
When I saw stones, sand, soil
I pray they can get happiness
Although they pray much than me
I wished I pray to everything
When I saw tiger, bear, crocodile, snake, cat, dog, hawk, worm, whale
I pray they can find pleasures
When I saw flower, sun, moon, star, comet, snow, fog, mud, desert
I pray they can find pleasures
Although they pray much than me
I wished I pray to everything
When I saw sea, foam, wave, fish, boats
I pray they can have brightness
When I saw sky, cloud, lightning, storm, birds
I pray they can have brightness
Although they pray much than me
I wished I pray to everything
When I saw river, lake, gulf, waterfall, flood
I pray they can sense the joy
When I saw mountain, cave, hill, earthquake
I pray they can sense the joy
Although they pray much than me
I wished I pray to everything
When I saw grandpa, grandma, father, mother, uncle, aunt, grandchildren
I pray they can feel peaceful
When I saw presidents, leaders, heroes, soldiers, directors, actors
I pray they can feel peaceful
Although they pray much than me
I wished I pray to everything
When I saw doctors, nurses, victims, hospitals, shelters
I pray they can receive relief
When I saw sellers, buyers, goods, markets, shop
I pray they can receive relief
Although they pray much than me
Ahmad Shiddiqi
