I Opened My Eyes Poem by Mohammad Younus

I opened my eyes and saw what lies there, in the divine smile.
All things are in constant smile, as the stars glare.
The path ahead hums with music and dance,
No suffocation from doubt or illusion ahead—
A deep breath, a step forward, is all I need to take.
Nightmares of the past now appear to be fake,
My dreams and wishes to see the truth are clear, as golden visions.
I believe my dreams can be turned into reality,
For in divine grace, my confidence is rooted,
I have a gift, grafted in my fitrah—
To turn evil into good, darkness into light.

Memories vivid, calling from the past,
Continuing the divine melody of Alast, which never stops.
The light of the unknown rises to the fore,
This light and music, unseen before.
Nights of darkness, where I resided, have ended,
And I wonder: will this new day dissolve in night again?

There is no way but to proceed on;
I must only look forward,
I know this will get me from darkness to light.
A deep breath and my heart finds rest, to its amazement.
The weight of the world, unloaded from my shoulders—
I am free.
As the light rises and I open my tired eyes,
The only thing I see clearly is the Divine's smile.
