As The Night Of Darkness Was Ending Poem by Mohammad Younus

As the night of darkness was ending...
...and the sunlight came in from all sides...
...my heart, mind, and soul came out of dreaming;
My eyes woke from deep sleep;
Then, the dawn sought to greet me with light;
The morning birds greeted me with sweet music...
...as if master musician in his hands held the lute...
...and moved his fingers skillfully over the strings;
Where are You Master musician, who keeps my heart awake?
Every moment sweet lute sound is coming from You...
...so that I feel myself no longer separate from You.
The lute sound is echoing from every side - sweet music of love!
If you reflect on this mysterious lute...
...You will see that it says: Come to me! Come to me!
Listen O friend, God is calling you from every side!
Your lord is saying: Call upon me, I will respond to your call;
He invites you to the Home of Peace [i.e., Paradise];
He guides whom He wills to the straight path - that goes to Him.
