(Such are the effects of hatred, even animals have been divided,
the cow has become a Hindu, and the goat a Muslim.
Even the trees, the leaves and branches would lose all patience,
if the birds next were to be divided into Hindus and Muslims.
The sweets are all very confused,
knowing not when coconuts became Hindu and dates Muslim.
The way religion is dividing everything,
that green is now a colour of Muslims and red for Hindus,
Then even that day isn’t far off, when all the green vegetables would belong to the Muslims,
and Hindus would be left with carrots and tomatoes.
Now, here is a conundrum — what does the poor watermelon do?
It’s Muslim on the outside, but from inside a Hindu.)
