Not Easy Walking On The Spiritual Path! Poem by Mohammad Younus

No easy walking on spiritual path!
When you desire to attain to contentment...
...and abandon the pressing urge of your nafs...
...to seek more and more;
Who wants to be complacent with what he has?

Sometimes it is like wishing back the paradise lost...
...expecting the Lord to permit you now...
...to go near to the forbidden tree;
Is it not unwise to ask the Lord for changing his laws...
...for just gratifying the desires of your evil nafs?

When the divine light shines on you...
...there is no point in praying...
...just for gaining entry to the paradise...
...or avoiding the chastisement of the hellfire;
There is nothing beyond getting enlightened!
This is the real paradise that roots in divine light!
