Fuel beneath a cauldron of hate
At the heart of the Middle East mess;
Protecting an ethnic-supremacist state,
Defending its right to oppress.
Fuel beneath a cauldron of hate

The Slaughter of Man is claimed to be “politics”
The destruction of the world is said to be “wisdom”
And under the guise of goodwill towards mankind,
They wrought havoc; this is ‘competence’!
Pour on wine! As yet, none has found it boring,
It is an old friend of whose company the heart never tires…
In every state, the Heart is my support:
In this kingdom of existence it is my sovereign.
When I tire of the treachery of Reason –
God knows I am grateful to my Heart…
— Prof. Khalilullah Khalili (1907-1987). Sufi Afghan poet laureate
