If You Escape From The Company Of Divine Scholars Poem by Mohammad Younus

If you escape from the company of divine scholars,
How can you gain mystic truths, and pearls of wisdom?
How can you be liberated from the snares of beguiling self?
Woe to him who is imprisoned in the dungeon of his self!
Of course, he'll suffer loss of both the worlds;
Throw away the dust of ignorance from your hearts;
Know that this world is ephermeral and transitory;
Know that this world is not your original home;
Your real and eternal habitat is somewhere else;
That is brilliant and everlasting - where Adam and Eve lived...
...before they were expelled out...
...for coming near to the forbidden tree and eat of its fruit.
