Mystic Bell Poem by Mohammad Younus

MYSTIC BELL

Such a music with thousand echoes
As honey bees warble in the blue sky
Such trill and Twitter is never heard
Ring! O' celestial bell! Ring!
Once bless my mystic ear
Jingle in melodious tone
Entrap my soul long
Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, tinkle

Mystic who heard this ringing bell
While wrapped in Night's dark cloak
His mystic heart and eye did greet
When he heard this divinely- bell
With his mystic ear inside
Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, tinkle

Such a ringing bell, full and perfect
The Jabal-e-Noor oncereverberated with
On a happy and auspicious day
Most musical, most awful belling
Followed by the divine speech
Read in the name of your lord
Who created man from a leech
Iqra bi ismi rabbikallazē khalaq
Khalaqal insāna min àlaq
Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, tinkle

The rhyming of the swinging bells
What a blissful rupture they cause
What an awful light and thunder!
Open the gates of paradise lost
Let me in again, let me in again
Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, tinkle

All the heavens seem to glimmer
Angels seem to leap high
With a sparkling delight
When a world of peace
Resonates in a happy tinkling rhyme
What a gush of knowledge divine
Descends from the lawh-e-mehfūz
Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, tinkle

But when the bells scream in silence
Horrified to speak their effect
What becomes of soul and body
Only a mystic's heart can tell
Hear the mellow rhyming bells
Bells, bells, bells, bells
