God's Gifts To Me Poem by Mohammad Younus

if you lift the black veil to reveal the mole on your face,
It won't any way increase my belief in your beauty,
As the real beauty of a woman is preserved well behind the veil,
Just as an oyster hides the pearls behind its shell's veil;
It is enough for me, my dear:
That l wear your musical chain of pearls round my neck;
That you give a holy bath to me with your brilliant light;
Thus, the springs of peace and love are produced in my breast;
Knowledge and awareness; wisdom and enlightenment...
...are the gifts and rewards that I get from you,
It is you who gives me a portion from this spiritual wealth!
Nobody upon the earth can steal or withhold from me this wealth!
I can make no offerings to you save what you have gifted to me,
I would give my life to you, but that also belongs to you.
