khatm - a poem

O Thou, Who art the Perfection of Love, Harmony and Beauty, The Lord of heaven and earth,
Open our hearts, that we may hear Thy Voice, which constantly cometh from within.
Disclose to us Thy Divine Light which is hidden in our souls,
That we may know and understand life better.
Most Merciful and Compassionate God, Give us Thy great Goodness;
Teach us Thy loving Forgiveness;
Raise us above the distinctions and differences which divide mankind:
Send us the Peace of Thy divine Spirit, And unite us all in Thy Perfect Being.

Amen

-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
