Live In This World But... Poem by Mohammad Younus

Live in this world but,
Call nothing your own...
Look inward...
And see the beauty...
...and majesty in you,
See a mine of rubies!
Within the cavern
of your soul...
Hear the voice of Love,
Your beloved calling you,
Sweet like the wine of paradise,
'Drink now! Drink now! '...
Take a sip and see...
...the vast ocean within,
Wave upon wave touching your soul;
The lovers of God's wine,
dance around...
And they circle on their steps,
As if Heaven showers...
On them the rain and snow—
A hundred thousand tunes...
...they always hear,
All they hear is the call of
Beloved;
Make it a habit to continue...
...listening to your beloved,
Please never abandon it,
Lest your beloved should stop...
...calling you to him.
