Soul's Secret Poem by Mohammad Younus

Truly, an essential relationship there is,
Between the human body and the soul,
If your soul is conscious and aware,
Your body and mind will follow your soul,
If your body and mind are diseased,
These surely will impact your soul,
It will also feel the pain, and be restless,
If your body and mind are sound and healthy,
Your soul also stay in happy and in peace,
Mansoorknew a hidden secret about the two,
While the two are together needed on the earth,
We do not live because of the body here,
We live rather by the command of our lord here -
The soul about which thescripture says:
Do they ask you about the soul?
Tell them it is from the command of God,
Only on the wings of the soul can we fly in the skies,
He freed himself from the body of water and clay,
So he devoted himself to know rather the secret of soul,
Observing one truth in all things,
He declared: I am the truth
It was not he who claimed - I am the truth,
It was the Haq, in whom he had passed away,
Who declared his oneness on his tongue,
Anal Haq! Anal Haq! Anal Haq!
