No Vengeful And Wrath-Full Soul Is Mine Poem by Mohammad Younus

No vengeful and wrath-full soul is mine;
No peace-hater and loveless person...
... in the violence-troubled world is mine;
I see Heaven's glories shine in love and peace;
I see faith shines bright in a lover's and...
...a peace-maker's heart.

O al-haq within my breast, present!
You are my Ever-present and Ever-living Deity!
Life -- that in me has rest, originates from You
And I -- undying Life -- have roots in You!

Vain are the thousand creeds that obscure...
...the truth of One-reality...
...and that move men's hearts away from You;
Worthless as withered weeds they are!
Old blind shepherds tending the flocks of sheep!

They cannot waken doubt in the believers' heart's...
...holding so fast by Your infinity;
Surely they are the true Muwahids anchored...
..on the steadfast rock of One-reality.

With wide-embracing love, Your command...
...animates the dead souls;
O Causeless! You are the cause of all causes!
O Lord, You create, uncreate, and sustain!

When the universe and man were there not;
When sun, moon, and stars were there not;
Yòu were all alone!
But, every existence existed in You;
And You said 'Be! ' And all came to be!

No power beside You can cause...
...the annihilation of humanity and your creation...
...that might render void your manifestation;
You -- You are the necessary Being! The One-reality!
What You cause to live will never ever be destroyed.
