O Walker On The Path Of Love Poem by Mohammad Younus

If you come out of self conceilt...
and play not fool with yourself,
and neither fool and mock others;

If you clear your mind of all lousy thoughts,
and snap your book of day shut and put it...
...in your bag at night,
and be one with your lord;

If you walk in curious paths and collect...
...the gems of knowledge and wisdom,
And stay away from idle pursuit...
...of useless things;

If you pay heed to words of sages and saints,
And do not break off rhyme or reason,
And do not gather scraps and litter;

If when setting out on voyage in the violent sea,
You do not care for furious storms and cyclones,

Then only you must follow the path of love...
and be drunken with the music of love,
And not waste your days and nights ever...
in the company of friends, not wise and enlightened;

The world is not empty of worthy people...
and people of the highest wisdom and knowledge,
These are the people you must search first, and be after,
For I know it is knowledge and wisdom that we must gather.
