Faqirs Are Too Rare Poem by Mohammad Younus

Fruits do not grow on the Kikar trees;
Musk is not to be found in common goats;
Diamonds are not to be found in all rocks;
Safron does not grow on all lands;
Faqirs too are not to be found in multitudes!
They are to be found one in a million people!
The rest are just like two-legged speaking animals!
Eating nonsense and poisonous words!
The lovers of God wander in the four directions...
...to find a true faqir for their guidance and direction;
For me the true example is in Mustaffa, Siraj-ul-Anbiya!
He is said to have said:
'Al faqru fakhri aftakhir bihi',
(Faqr - spiritual poverty - is my glory, I take honour by it) !
Obey Prophet's guidance and avoid what he forbids;
Protect yourself from things - contrary to his teachings;
Remain steadfast in your commitment to your Love;
Have ever you pondered on the great value of faqr?
What is this world which you are holding dear to your breast?
