I Have Forgotten Poem by Mohammad Younus

I Have Forgotten



What words my lips have uttered,
When my lord asked me: Am I not your lord?
And where, when, and why,
I have forgotten,
And what music I have heard,
In my mother's musical womb,
I have forgotten,
But, when she delivered me out,
I found,
This outer world full of ghosts who continually sigh,
And who tap upon the window pans of my heart,
Making a horrific and penetrating voice;
I feel in my heart a violent pain,
For having been sent out of my mother's womb;
I want to again find that lost silence and music,
That I enjoyed in my mother's womb،
Who will transport me at midnight back to my home?
I am standing in this world like a lonely winter tree,
without green leaves and juicy fruits;
I do not know
where and why the birds have vanished one by one,
That sang to me pleasant notes in mother's womb,
Yet I see the birds singing on the boughs of trees,
The songs of love more echoing than before;
I can not say what birds have come and gone,
I only know that divine sings still in me,
And reminds me all the while, that in me sounds the divine lute.
