Divine Word Is My Soul Poem by Mohammad Younus

Divine Word is my soul,
Divine Word is my soul;
My soul is absolutely God's...
...and God's alone;
My soul is the inner voice, ...
...in the world of realisation;
My soul is the outer voice, ...
...in the world of manifestation.

To my mind's eye, nothing is real;
To my heart's eye, everything is real;
To conquer my doubts, ...
...I need to hear God's word,
That illuminates me inwardly and outwardly.

I am not afraid of my...
...emotions and passions;
I am not afraid of the snares...
...of enchanting mind;
I live in my submission...
...to God's will;
I am pleased with God, and
...God is pleased with me;

When my inner voice congrues...
...with my outer voice, ...
...all my seemingly...
...insurmountable troubles, ...
...wriggling pains vanish into thin air;
Disappointments and frustrations...
...in my heart clear off, and...
...make room for hope and ecstasy;

There is no doubt in it that...
...ignorance veiling the soul...
...is replaced by awareness;
Appalling darkness engulfing the heart...
...is removed by perfect enlightenment;
God gifts two invaluable pearls:
Divine knowledge! and,
Divine wisdom!

The earthly joys have always...
...a beginning and an ending;
The Heavenly joys have no...
...beginning and no ending;
Eternal joy! That does not...
...get old with time!
My longing is to be in...
...God's perpetual remembrance.
