Let Me Get This Straight Poem by Mohammad Younus

Let me get this straight
I Am Love,
I Am Lover and,
I Am Loved

I know that you will not accept it...
...but there is nothing I can do about it...
...because you have your own vision of love;
But what I am going to be if I am not so?

What I am going to be if...
...I AM Hate, hater, or hated?
My heart aches everytime I think...
...what would be I like minus love?

My heart skips when I remember...
...that I only have a few breaths;
In the next world I will certainly be...
...as I leave from here - either love or hate

It is such a precious treasure...
...that I can't take it out of my heart;
And in my soul love is my light...
...the light of Allāh!
Who can extinguish the light of Allāh
Rather Allāh will perfect His light...
...although you may dislike it

Without love, without the light of Allāh...
...I will be feeling a void in my heart...
...even after this life, if I do not have it here;
And there is nothing that can fill this void!
