In This Vast World... Poem by Mohammad Younus

In This Vast World...

In this vast world...
...where conscious hearts beat,
Genuine love isn't just found.
It's to be found in a world reborn...
...vibrant with spirituality's warmth.

'Seek, and you shall find! '
So goes the sage's advice!
A cycle of seeking and finding...
...for those whose hearts yearn...
...only for love's pure embrace.

Yet, those shadowed by...
...earthly desires, and temptations...
...their hearts are untouched by...
...love's true flame,
They remain forever seeking, ...
...enveloped in cold chill,
A testament to love's absence!

In the vastness of genuine hearts...
...there lie those untouched by...
...falsity's chill.
In the precipice of insincere hearts...
...their inhabit ghosts of fear.

The cold, a stark reminder...
...of love uncultivated...
...in the depth of such souls...
...where warmth has ceased...
...to dwell.

Love, in its essence is truly:
life's quintessential purpose!
A beacon of joy!
A wellspring of happiness!
A desire that kindles in the heart...
...that beats with divine zikr!

It's this very love that lights...
...the darkest corners where...
...darkness dwells,
A beacon for shattered souls...
...seeking solace and delight.

And it's here I stand,
With a beacon of hope...
Steadfast in my belief...
...in love's enduring light.

May the warmth of genuine love...
...reside for ever in my heart,
...painting smiles upon my lips...
...even as shadows fall...
...as life's final hour approaches.
