First, We Must Let Our Heart... Poem by Mohammad Younus

First, we must let our heart...
...be still and in peace...
...in a way we have never...
...felt before;
So peaceful as we have never...
....imagined before.

We will not know silence and peace...
...if what we are feeling is about...
...anguish and joy,
Know, we write our own destiny;
Write well, such that we are free...
... of joy and anxiety.

Do not think wrongly...
...that we are feeling pain and anguish...
...because of our old wounds mainly;
Do not think wrongly...
...that we are feeling happy merely...
...because of old acts goodly.

Our life is not a punishment or a reward...
...for our old karmas merely;
Yes, true, we are flowing once more...
...because life is a continuous journey;
Until we get perfect, and complete...
...our unfinished job in our life finally.

Divine mercy floods into our chest...
...like sweet musical tunes...
...enter our soul;
...like the breezes loaded with fragrance...
...of Morningglory and Queen of the night...
...enter our breast freely;
Divine love is too immense and heavy!

We should stand very still, and hear...
...the sweetening music divine;
We should stand with eyes open, and see...
...glory of divine manifestation;
Until the time we will say:
Yes, yes, we have been told of this before!
It has come true! It has come true!
We will, inshallah, never close our eyes again.
