Dying While Living Poem by Mohammad Younus

Dying while living,
Through God's grace, I slowly awaken,
Clutching the fragile hope of reliving,
The sweet fruit of dhikr within my heart.

Beneath a shower of merciful rain,
My parched and weary garden blooms anew—
In joy, in longing, I patiently await:
How distant is my resurrection
From this winter of the soul, now fading away?

Conquered by the breath of a tender spring,
I see my beloved emerge...
...singing, shimmering,
A lifeless leaf stirs, returning to life.
