Living An Ugly Life Poem by Mohammad Younus

These ugly days have been my ruin;
In this kind of weather,
I've lived my whole life...
...from my childhood to my last days;
In this kind of weather,
I got addicted to ephemeral worldly pleasures;
In this kind of weather,
I fell in deep love with the temptations of nafs;
In this kind of weather,
I forgot to bring home peace and love...
...at the end of the day;
My addiction to the drinks of worldliness...
...forgetting the rejuvenating wine divine...
...surged in this kind of weather;
These ugly days have been my ruin;
I then turned around and sought refuge with my lord;
I am happy that God forgave me and
gave me asylum...
...under the vast canopy of his mercy;
The fire of love was kindled in me by the merciful God!
It will not leave other in my heart;
Thus, I will become a branch of my root!
