I Think Of You... Poem by Mohammad Younus

I think of you...
When the sunlight dims in cloudy winter...
...and the atmosphere lies calm and still...
...in its cold embrace.

I think of you
When the sunlight glimmers at dawn...
...and the glaciers melt down...
...in its warm embrace.

I think of you
When the morning and evening breezes...
...in springs and summers are blowing...
...their fragrant kisses...
...‘cross the blood-drenched land.

I think of you
When the mountain streams are roaring...
...like wounded lions...
...where we'd wandered, hand in hand in peace.

I think of you
When I wake each morning...
...as I sit on the prayer carpet...
...in the dew-drenched light...
...hymning and hearing your secret name, Hu.

I think of you
At the twilight before dawn..
...when the moon and the stars in the sky...
...are parting from me to start a new day;

I think of you
When the sad sun covers its face...
...in the veils of mist and fog...
...just before she sets, and blushes her face.

I think of you,
Beyond dusk, till dawning...
...beneath the warm quilt...
...breathing in your holy name Hu...
...resonating of its own.

I think of you
When lactating mothers...
... are fondly looking at their babies...
...suckling from their breasts in their laps.
