Love for all Hatred for none

Good evening my family
May peace be your light
It is a great honor
to be here tonight

My name is Quddous
A west London kid
And my message is not
To be interpreted

it is simply beautiful
As bright as the sun
It is love for all
and hatred for none

my motto for life
to help me get through
and not only that
it brings me closer to you

See love is for all
So we shouldn't judge
regardless of faith
Regardless of grudge

Love is what binds
two atoms in one
love is the warmth
in the tea you've begun

A muslim i am
yes i do have a beard
I do not go bang
And i am not to be feared

My words are a moral
a moral to be done
i say love for all
And hatred for none

Tell me my family
If i am busy in hate
why would i spend time
through words to relate

I am grateful to you
For lending an ear
And helping you rid
Of Islamic fear

My motto for life
I'm sure you can see
Is to live a full life
in service to thee

It gives me great pleasure
To love you for Him
It becomes a worship
and frees me from sin

I can sit on the side
sipping tea as i speak
but what I've been taught
has made me complete

My family please
go home with a smile
Go home with a heart
And ponder a while

And ask if the world
Would be better run
if love was for all
And hatred for none

Meaning

I pick up my pen
And divulge in verse;
Hoping time is well spent and
My message dispersed

I would like to start this
by defining myself
I am one among many
like a book on a shelf

There is nothing special
about me in my time
except that perhaps
I do well when I rhyme

With you now I take
this journey, and pray
Let us fly on the wings
Of meaning today

If I was to tell you
that I am a Jew
How would you know
If I'm talking of you

Or if I was to tell you
A Christian I am
How would you know
Who I call 'The Lamb'

But I am a Muslim
believing in all
My belief isn't limited
My heart isn't small

So I pick up my pen
And divulge in verse;
My time well spent and
My message dispersed

What does it mean
When I say this to you
When I say I am Muslim
In my poetic debut

What does it mean
in a spiritual sense-
the grass is greener
if you get rid of the fence!

What does it mean
when I seek to employ
the use of my words
for all to enjoy

So I pick up my pen
And divulge in verse;
My time well spent and
My message dispersed

When I say you're my brother
And say it I do
I mean you are family
I mean it with truth

When I say you are family
And say it I will
The purpose of life
It helps me fulfill

When I say its my purpose
Its my purpose to serve
It brings me closer to God
And to Heaven deserve

So I pick up my pen
And divulge in verse;
My time well spent and
My message dispersed

As I close I must say
That these are just words
A spiritual rendering
a flight of the birds

As I close I must say
It's been a joy to have been
surrounded by artists
painting the scene

As I close I must say
its been an honor tonight
to explore what we share
of our lyrical plight

So I put down my pen
And ponder of verse;
My time well spent and
My message dispersed
