O Mount Of Light Poem by Mohammad Younus

O Mount of light
To what shall I compare you!
You are the Sacred Mount that stands,
In the holy precincts of Mekkah,
Effulging Light upon light non-stop,
Allah did fuse and blend all mystic beauty here,
Here, Light chases the darkness away,
Here, Man and divine unite,
Here, Allah first gazed with love,
At the radiant face of Mustafa,
Here, He cleansed his soul with his own light,
Here, He talked to him the sublime truths,
On the tongue of Gabriel,
Thus, Mustafa first got divine revelations here,
He would in solitude sit here in its blessed cave,
And meditate for days and nights,
Thus, the humankind received the divine gift --
Tthe glorious Quran!
Guidance for those who want to ward off evil,
Guidance for those who want to walk along
a straight path,
Leading to the eternal fount of truth,
knowledge, wisdom, awareness;
Some day must I visit thy most sacred cave,
Enter and at once find to my utmost happiness: -
Polytheism, atheism, racism, nationalism,
And many other false ideologies dwindle to
nothingness.
