They Are Right! Poem by Mohammad Younus

They are right!
This too shall pass;
I am confident!
The clouded sky shall cease to rain...
...covid-deaths on our heads;
The sun giving a sadistic smile...
...shall throw a livening light...
...on our horrified souls below;
And the dead earth shall sprout...
...greenery and fragrant flowers again;
I get an assurance from the rejuvenating nature...
...that nothing is permanently destroyed,
Infinitely recouping and healing process...
...is going on in nature;
I see paled faces brightening again,
I see the golden dawn and flamming sunset...
...on the horizon in my sight;
I see children playing in the parks...
...and going to schools,
I see women singing the merry songs at weddings,
I see the faithful going for prayers in the masjids,
I notice effulgent smile on the peoples' faces;
God be praised!
Everything is getting out of murk and gloom;
He has cleansed our mind and heart with His broom;
He has forgiven us our sins;
He has brought us out...
...from the abyss of pandemics;
Trust my word, trust what I see;
Āmën.
