Abdul ali with Zekerullah
From the hills I play my flute…
I wish for peace & reconciliation
When will the world ever understand?
We thank those who pray that we’ll have peace
But prayers won’t suffice if one by one, war takes us away from life
Peace for the ordinary billions must be loved into passionate existence
by a billion ordinary hearts
From Afghanistan, we thank every individual who is now journeying with us in this heart-storm of love, befriending us at

Is your wish for peace a special or ordinary wish?
Our wish for peace is ordinary because everyone wishes for peace
Who is responsible for bringing peace?
We ourselves are responsible for bringing peace.
If war breaks out, whose fault is it?
It is our fault because we ourselves should make peace.
If governments wage war, we should also temper that.
We the people should temper governments? How?
Yes, that we make peace, as war is futile.
Should we wait for elders & leaders to bring peace?
No, we shouldn’t wait…we ordinary people should arise from our own places to bring peace.
An Afghan leader had said that he wanted to turn Afg into a river of blood
We the people of Afghanistan want a river of peace
We ordinary people should take the course of peace
We should arise from our homes, from the mountains & from the cities
Can’t we ordinary people arise & move?
We can and we will arise for peace.
Peace, peace…from the bottom of our hearts, peace!
From the hills I play my flute…
I wish for peace & reconciliation
When will the world ever understand?
We thank those who pray that we’ll have peace
But prayers won’t suffice if one by one, war takes us away from life.
Peace for the ordinary billions must be loved into passionate existence by a billion ordinary hearts
Even when the cold sets in and ice forms over the rivers,
we ordinary people should arise from our own places to bring peace
arise from our homes, from the mountains & from the cities
For if war breaks out, whose fault is it?
Peace, peace…from the bottom of our hearts, peace!
Love is how we’ll ask for peace, love that must arise from the ordinary
I wish for peace & reconciliation
When will the world ever understand?
