The fundamental Jihadi mind is not kind
It's hate is for life's freedom that is trouble free
Of restrictions on every mode of thought
That the mind of man, has in his wisdom wrought

Freedom is being attacked with bombs
Life's destruction, as we know it, is Jihad's only object
Negating the admonitions of love in all religious psalms
The supremacy of its narrow credo, its only subject


Bharath was formed by the likes of Bapu and his kin
To give all religions of the world, a place to flourish
To say to all that love is prime and hate, a mortal sin
For thought that is free to reign, the human soul to nourish

It is for all goodwill's people to demand this hate will not stand
In this freedom's sacred and promised land
To kill and maim the innocent, our law shall not permit it
We shall in detemination destroy and extirpate it

Iqbal, before he got the evil fundamentalist bug
Proclaimed that religion is not meant to stir up hate
And Bapu in his wisdom sang of Ram and Rahim's unity
Of this multi-religious land, sacred in its diversity
Tolerance is the basic building block, of India as a state

We shall not tolerate any departure from this basic belief
Not from fundamentalist'mullas' of every stripe
Be they Islamic, Hindu or of any other type
We shall keep this land free of attack of limb and life
We shall give no quarter to the killers, no haven, no relief.

Say to the rulers of Hind in their venal stance
That if you will not crush these hate filled groups
We shall remove you and place you in history's scrap heap
And then the people in their fury will perform their own dance
Of destruction that will not be stopped until all that is fine is destroyed
And all is sacrificed on nihilistic hate's fiery lance

'Good things in life, just die on the vine
If they are not protected from life's predators
It is important to protect good things for which we pine
And provide succour to innocents and the peace-makers
