My Days With My Master Poem by Mohammad Younus

In the Dal Lake, under the willow's shade...
...a lover I met listening in silence to the Music of Love;
Wholeheartedly! Devotedly!
A dervish whose eyes outshined the sun!
A master upon whose tongue was God's sweet word!
Oh Happy-starred! Give thanks to your lord;
That you got some time to sit for hours before that dervish;
Invaluable was each minute that you spent under his tutelage!
Pay tribute to him for he blessed you with his knowledge and wisdom;
You live and know that your life is sweet because of him;
Give thanks for the time spent in his good company;
Give thanks for the gifts of pearls of wisdom you obtained;
The greatest gift is the contented mind...
...that you are now due to his teachings;
No heart is dark when the moon of Irfan does shine;
Always seek the company of enlightened dervishes and people of knowledge;
As they will teach you what to know and sow is sweet.
