Love Thy Lord Poem by Mohammad Younus

Brightful and colourful flowers bloom in spring,
But the fragrance they emit is colourless.
He, too, is colourless who created the colourful flowers
But his fragrance is a thing of aesthetics felt by his lovers,
So let's us turn to the origin of colourful and fragrant spring,
Let us erase the idea of our existence from the slate of our mind,
Let us affirm that nothing has got a permanent existence except him,
So that we see thousands of worlds in us,
So that the essential existence flames out of us,
And we see him appearing in different forms,
Nonetheless, none of these forms lasts long,
Fortunate is he who knows this mystery!
Fortunateis he who dedicates his life to know this,
He only could leave this mud house for another, far more radiant.
We cannot understand this mystery through logical mind;
The Way to gnosis winds through spiritual mind,
The soul that does not live in the love of God is not alive,
He might seem like a man, but does not deserve the name:
He who is made alive by love will never die,
He lives through love and for love, not through gold or jewel,
Love is the Light, love is the eternal source of Lights.
Love is causeless, as it is the essence of life
