Linked To My Lord By My Own Beating Heart Poem by Mohammad Younus

Linked to my lord by my own beating heart,
Though I do not see him in cosmos vast,
Yet I feel his presence manifest and real.
He proves existence with his special smiles,
Overwhelming me with phenomenal light.
I feel him in my heart, he enlightens me,
Wishing I could see him with my own eyes.
Yet he transcends the vision of the flesh,
Ashamed am I of this foolish wish I've penned.
My Zikr is the stunning voice, Hu, from him.
My lord, I believe, formed me from clay,
A sounding clay that echoes with his word.
I find his holy voice, Hu, touching me,
As breezes touch the petals of the blooms.
Without him, I have no words to describe
How much I adore and miss his presence.
From him, I've gained all love and affection
Since the hour he first created my soul.
His holy word resounds within my being,
I recall the day of Alast, when he
Took from me the covenant to submit,
Ever to his lordship, always in faith.
