Collect The Pearls... Poem by Mohammad Younus

Collect the pearls...
...gems, and diamonds...
...the words of wisdom...
...from the wise men;
They collected them...
...one by one...
...in their heart bowls...
...over their lifetime...

like the rain drops...
...trickling from the roof...
...collected for drinking
...on the Day of Nawruz...
in a water pot...
...believing that Nawruz water...
...has got healing effect.

Remember, O man!
Wisdom is like the lost treasure;
Wherever you get it...
...go and get it.
Let it be your prayer:
Grant us O Lord!
knowledge from above,
All the wisdom...
...of the sages!
Grant us O Lord!
Awareness and Enlightenment!
