Drawn By My Love For The Unseen... Poem by Mohammad Younus

Drawn by my love for the unseen...
...I turned my mind upside down;
And delved straight into my depths;
Between my eyes a hanging curtain!
The two seas do not meet, as long as...
...the curtain is hanging between;
The sea on the curtain's other side...
...is pure, colourless, fathomless...
...and calm and quiet.

Empty-handed, without oars...
... the rowers row their boats;
The 'Ocean of the divine intellect...
...never dries up;
Pearls shine forth by themselves...
...and the divers take them out;
I throw my net in the Ocean, to catch...
...the fish of knowledge and wisdom;
Alone I swim on the ocean's surface...
...connecting to my original source.
