I Listen And Listen Poem by Mohammad Younus

I listen and listen...
...and the only thing I think about:
How can I …
listen to this melodious voice...
...when I'm engrossed...
...in the mundane affairs of my life?
I thought in the beginning.

But years of involvement...
...with the charming things of the world...
...could not withhold my heart...
...from listening to the holy music;
I listen and listen - nothing stops me.

My heart cannot forget the music...
...that connects it to the Lord of eternity;
How can it get separated from the ocean?
Do the sun, the moon, and the stars...
...separate from space?
I listen and listen...
...because it comes from my within.
