Heart That Beats To The Divine Rhythm Poem by Mohammad Younus

Heart that beats to the divine rhythm,
Quiet winds in cool, open meadows,
Hidden truths that soothe and guide,
In the hour of my peace and ecstasy.

Beating heart still sounds aloud,
Echoing years of a sacred vow.
Don't bring duality's shadow to my mind,
For I no longer wish to play
The game of hide and seek with the divine.

Beating heart still sounds aloud,
Lost in my golden love,
For You I live, and by You I breathe.
I now hide in the divine's cave,
Where no thief can steal my peace.

Beating heart still sounds aloud,
What little truth is left to know,
When in the end, I came to see
He is so far, yet so near.
Why should I commit the sin
Of duality beneath the heavens?
This blessing is the answer I prayed for.

Beating heart still sounds aloud,
I'll wake upon the dewy grass,
Opening both divine eyes,
To see the fields beyond,
Where in ancient times I was
A lamb in the Shepherd's flock.

Beating heart still sounds aloud,
I have a mind, a heart, and a soul—
The hell cannot burn these sacred gifts,
Blown into me by the divine spirit.
As light and sound fill my void.

Beating heart still sounds aloud,
Here I sit, here I wait,
To breathe the divine breath,
It purifies me, revives my essence,
As the divine self awaits the purified,
To lift him to the eternal place,
Where neither pain nor joy remains.

Beating heart still sounds aloud,
No sting to ponder, no remorse,
As eternal life steers us another way.
Upon the horse, I ride to pastures new,
Beginning my journey through the meadow.

Beating heart still sounds aloud,
The Truth remains within my thoughts,
In the next meadow, every morning,
Every night, in my sight—only the Truth,
The Truth that has brought this vision to me.

Beating heart still sounds aloud,
This is the truth of life,
As the wheels turn endlessly,
Our chariot will not stop,
Where duality makes a sound.
