Poetry from Mahbub Alam

Middle aged South Asian man with reading glasses, short dark hair, and an orange and green and white collared shirt. He's standing in front of a lake with bushes and grass in the background.
Mahbub Alam
Eid-Ul Azha (2)

The heart is on the goats, cows, camels, or any other animals-
That permits on the day for us
Feeling a touch of love
Sacrifice our best like the friends
So nice of getting active by doing so many things
By embracing, meeting and distributing 
The meat to the relatives and neighbors
And enjoying the taste and beauty of sacrifice
Spread the light of brotherhood among us
On the other side the greatest assemble of the Muslims at Ka’ba in Mecca  
Pray to Allah for the salvation of the soul
And may He be merciful to the humankind
We are passing our days so acute regarding natural imbalance
And facing the challenge of unknown diseases
Oh Allah! Please, pardon us 
Make the world suitable for us to live in peace
We are going to sacrifice our best
Please remove us from our all misdeeds and sins
And receive our sacrifices we do on the day.
