Awareness Poem by Mohammad Younus

Yesterday I looked at the whole creation,
And found nothing in the whole creation,
Is bonded together by any life force,
Today I see all the particles making the universe,
Bound together by one single light force,
Yesterday I was asking scholars and gurus,
To show me the path leading to you straight,
Today I see every particle becoming a guiding star for me,
I take them as a guide on my journey to you,
As do the shippers on a voyage in the sea,
Or a caravan passing through a desert

Like a caged bird, my soul, yearns to go home somehow,
Who will open the window and set him free,
None but he himself must break open his cage,
The key to open the lock lies with him alone -
The heart wrenching song of separation,
One day his owner shall take pity on his pathos,
And tell him actually you are in delusion,
When you get awareness, you will realize,
You were, you are, you will always be,
A free bird!

In my ocean, floats a boat without sails,
And I have just embarked on a journey to a far off land,
When waves calm down, it will sail in a wink,
And touch the shores on the other end,
I'll drop the anchor there - a land where the sages learn,
Love, peace, and awareness
