Listen! If You Desire Salvation Poem by Mohammad Younus

Listen! If you desire salvation;
Birds sing as day begins...
....and also when night starts;
You too O man!
'Remember your Lord inwardly...
...with humility and reverence...
...and in a moderate tone of voice...
...both morning and evening;
And do not be one of the heedless.'

This is the appointed hour for you...
...to meet your lord;
When the tide of divine music flows in
And all creation bow before the One.
So enter the temple of the Divine music
Where 'I am The One-reality'
The sermon is being given.

Take the great gift -- the great name now;
And remember your lord with this name;
And surrender to Him in all humility;
This zikr will sweeten your tongue...
...and fill your heart with unbound ecstasy
Listen to the sermon that makes speechless.
