Midnight Dream Poem by Mohammad Younus

Midnight Dream

It's midnigt
The whole country is in sleep
A voice comes from somewhere
I thought it is heaven calling
Soul! from your casement look and you shall find
How persistantly I knock and wait for you
You come to see me, while I am looking at you
Why are you roaming about in wilderness?
No one pays attention to My call
Wherever you are, I am with you
When you look for me, I am seeking after you
When you love me, I am eagerly looking for you
I am nearer to you than your self -
Than your sight, your hearing, your speaking, ...
...your thinking, and your feeling
There's no need to go after other
Why are you looking up in the sky
Why are you looking up in temples and tombs
Rid yourself of delusion and distractions
And glide yourself into spiritual silence
A saffron flower blossoms in the silence
Let your soul be that flower to bloom inside you
