Unity of peace by Abu Zubier
The creation of peace, in the light of unity,
Forget all old sorrows.
In love with everlasting closeness,
We are all united.
When the heart joins with love,
All differences are tolerated.
Peace beckons welcome,
Oneness in the language of the mind is in the emotion.
With us, those who grow,
We go to increase with honey.
Infinite Creation of Oneness, Buried Light,
In the passion of peace, all ties are severed and the sorrow of the mind is changed.
This unity of peace, to all humanity,
The light of unity brings salvation from all problems.
In the spirit of peace, in all life,
We all help to achieve unity.
The eternal creation of unity, in the light of peace,
Taking place in the mind takes the form of full joy.
This peace and unity is the root of life,
All humanity joins this dream of peace.
