Rahim - Ram and Ram - Rahim
May be an equation for a spiritual hymn
The real 'R' is a teaser par excellence,
Wanting to tease us into His essence.
He hides within cajolling us to know it
Not through our fumbling wit
But by our identity with Him.

We are put through a charade to limn Him,
All syllables make only a wordy truth
That hardly distils Him in truth.
This is His sport and hanky-panky.
One shouldn't feel panicky
Sita-Begum and Allah-Iswar
Are freed from all fanatic stir
Only within our hearts
If anything, by fits and starts,
Let us start looking within
Striving to be spiritual kin
Breathing out
The banal creeds of deadly din.
