Do Not Despair Poem by Mohammad Younus

Never a dismal thought overtakes me,
In times of misery, I'm often filled with hope,
I hear a voice telling me:
'Despair not of the Mercy of Allah,
Verily Allah forgives all sins,
Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful! '
Hope in Allah replaces. my despair,
I desire to enjoy the dream of life;
Don't ask me why my hope does not perish?
Why I don't stop loving the person...
...who displeases me?
No longer can I say someone distresses me;
He who once felt love will never hate again;
He who once felt bliss, ...
...no more will like to lose its essence,
A moment's happiness is all that we need...
...for being joyful, pleasant, and contented;
May our lord keep us free of apathy and grief!
