I Know The Truth! Poem by Mohammad Younus

I know the truth!
I have given up all that I, before now...
...deemed to be the truths!
No need for people in spiritual guise...
...to tell me, we will show you the truth!
No need for me to undergo rigorous...
...exercises of meditation!
No need for me to walk on the path...
...of ascetic, mendicant faqirs!

Look, it is smiling morning!
Look, it is bright noon!
Look, it is cool evening!
Look, it is still night!
What do you see short of divine beauty?
Look the musk laden breez!
Look the hot waves moving!
Look the strong storms blowing!
Look the blossoms of varied hue and scent!
Look the prickly thorny bushes around!

Why do you speak of ugliness and beauty?
This exquisite beauty you can see never again...
...for tomorrow you may be dead;
The music of suns, moons, and galaxies...
...and the life on our earth, will turn to quiet;
And soon all of us will sleep under the earth!
Yea We! Who never in life cared to see and enjoy...
...the beauty of God's creation;
When we were out of the dark graves.
