Music Of Peace Poem by Mohammad Younus

There is a music in my heart,
The more I listen to it...
...the more deeper I get into it;
‘Cause the deeper I get in...
...the wider my ears open up;
Even if I try to be deaf...
...to this inner music..
...it goes on unabated;
How can anybody stop...
...the naturally coming music...
...which was played to Adam by God...
...when he created him for the first time!
Wherever I go, I feel it sounding...
in and out of me - perpetually;

It is this music which makes...
...it possible for me to live peacefully;
Then how can I allow any one...
...to stop me from hearing this music of peace?
It keeps me connected to my creator all the way;
When actually my Satanic nafs...
...engages me in pursuing the world...
... in order to stop me from...
...the perpetual remembrance of God!

Sometimes I wonder, why Adam was chosen..
...to be God's vicegerant on earth...
...when there were many others, like angels and jinns?
I wish to know the secret of this mystery,
But realising the fact that it was only Adam...
...into whom God blew of his spirit...
...I see that the light of God is the essence of man.

I wish, I had not come near to the forbidden tree,
I would be living comfortably back home...
...in the divine presence, and enjoying eternal peace,
I hope God will forgive me...
...and accept my sincere repentance, āmēn.
