Salaams All
My most controversial poem yet, comments would be appreciated as always. Please feel free to circulate as much as possible, i would appreciate if you could let me know where you post it
Our jatt is worlds apart
But our hearts are bonded together
People say we can’t be together
But we know we were meant for each other
We were both born in this country
Never been abroad
So why are they trying to impose this cultural rubbish upon us
It makes no sense at all
It sounds crazy
People divided
Based on profession and history
But what about personality
Compatibility, religiosity?
Surely that is more important that jatt?
Is it my fault that my grandfather was a fisherman
And yours was servant
While others collaborated with the British
Betrayed their own and sold out
And were rewarded with stolen land and big titles
The bitter truth is
They were Ghulams of the colonialists.
While others claim to be descended from the Prophets family
And don’t see the point in praying
And some claim to be from Hazrat Shahjalals family
When ask both for proof
They get shy and go red
Coz they aint got none.
Its funny how intelligent educated people like you and me
Follow blindly the Jatt system
Without thinking or questioning
Whether its right or wrong?
We’ve known each other since primary
Now we’re at university
Madly in love
Just want to get married
Don’t want to do anything to upset the almighty.
But they won’t allow us to be together
They want to tear us apart
Coz our Jatt is worlds apart
But I heard that if you got a red passport
And live in the UK
You can marry in Bangladesh
Above your station
Coz money talks and B….T walks
So the contradiction is apparent
Jatt system is transparent
It’s all about the money
And it’s quite funny
How people sell their Jatt
To the highest bidder
Just to come to the UK
Leave their big mansions and servants
To live in a tower block
And doing their own cooking and cleaning
And be a servant and unpaid slave to their in-laws.
They are forcing us into a corner
Making us choose between their traditions and what we feel and know to be right
Based on Islam
We can’t allow them to divide us
Coz we will mourn each other the rest of our lives
They claim to be good practicing Muslims
But
They refuse to listen to reason and
Say our marriage is betrayal and treason
They ignore the words of our beloved Muhammed saw
When he said
“The difference between Muslims is based upon God consciousness “
They judge based on Jatt
Which is from our past
From Hinduism
A truism
They don’t want to accept.
We have decided
To do the right thing
Ignore what they say
And just get married
Otherwise our life is being dictated
By people who follow stupidity
Their minds are closed
Following blindly their forefathers
Who died as idol worshippers
Instead of reciting the kalima
As their soul was extracted from their body
And back to the creator and master of the day of judgment Allah swt
To whom belongs all praise and glory?
