Rabia's Will;

I want to put out the fires of Hell
And set Heaven on fire.
Let none adore Him in fear of Hell
Or love Him in Heaven's desire.

But adore Him for His own sake.
In His love, let every heart leap.
In His love, let every soul sleep,
And in His love, let every soul wake!

Mystic's longing

The line below reads awkwardly. I've taken the liberty of making a suggestion: And put the Heaven on fire. (And set Heaven on fire) Or love Him in heaven’s desire. --> Heaven's Let in his love every soul sleep, --> His I like the combination of simplicity and passion in this poem, which is just right for the topic. Enjoyed it.

If I were more religious

I think I could be really thrilled by this. Perhaps we should prize anything or anyone or any god that we love for their own sakes, without ulterior motives. That's an advantage about poetry - because no one usually loves it just to try to make money or for any other reason than for its own, fascinating nature. I agree with Arrow that we would not normally use 'the' in front of Heaven (second line, first stanza). Best Wishes, Robert.

Love For Reward.

First of all thanks alot for taking the time to read and comment. I am happy it could get your attention.You are right Robert, loving God, or anyone for the sake of reward is just like business of love.True love doesnt want anything in reward, if it is really love.unfortunately the word God has been used by many for their own purposes.And the horrorful stories and incidence associated with Him is very painful.I appreciate your thoughts. Sincerely yours, Wafi

Wafi,

this is really powerful. Am I correct in assuming this is about worshipping together instead of fighting other beliefs? My best wishes again, Ink

Ink

Ink, thanks alot for taking the time to read and comment.You are right. The need to respect others' beliefs is so important now adays. Instead of fighting others' belief if we considor the love of our God, who is the God of all, will make our world a better place.And that could be achieved if we dont use relegion for our own desires and purposes. Best wishes and Happy new year. Wafi

Excellent poem

you said in two deceptively simple verses something I would take two dozen to say, and probably not get right even then. awesomely succinct 5 stars. Respectfully, Jim "An armed populace is the last defense against tyrannical government": Race

I'm with the others

in their comments. However, I do not prescribe to any 'ism' that man has created, if that is what one needs then I respect that, for myself the eastern attitude to nature defines closest my religion. If there HAD to be a god I might say it was trees as when I have felt very low and sad, I have looked at a tree and felt that it is growing, then so can I. They seem to have a quiet majesty of their own, but then that is myself putting the feelings into the tree!!! My mother had several boyfriends who wished to marry her, lucky! She decided she liked this person for that, this person for that but my father for himself alone, and married him. I do like the way you have put this feeling over, we all want to join you Wafi.
