It Was Love At The First Call Poem by Mohammad Younus

It was love at the first call—
As soon as He spoke,
On the Day of Alast, when He addressed
My soul.
My entire being trembled,
Awoke,
This awe—this grace—undeniable.

I cannot recall,
It was that first meeting,
His gentle declaration of who He is,
And what He holds dear in Himself.
I affirmed His absolute lordship
When I heard His soft call:
'Am I not your Lord? '
I heard His words,
And from my soul, I confirmed,
'Yes, my Lord! '
For I knew,
He alone was worthy.

With great courage, I bowed my head—
I told Him:
I want Him in my life,
No matter the cost,
No matter the trials.
He knew,
He found a soul
That would accept Him
Exactly as He is.
With joy, He accepted
My obedience,
And sealed the covenant gladly.

But I did not know
That the life ahead
Would test the promise
My soul had made.
