Opting To Remember And Reminiscing... Poem by Mohammad Younus

Opting to remember and reminiscing...
...over who created and graced me...
...is what gives peace and joy to my soul;
I choose to be closer to my originator...
...to grow purer, stronger, and wiser...
...so as to live a life of a bold divine lover!

God, open my eyes to view your beauty...
... smiling in front of me;
May my heart never be tied to any such thing...
...as might cause me leave thinking about you;
In my heart, absurd thoughts may crop up...
...and delude and distract me from your way.

But with your grace, I get over myself...
....and try to focus back on your remembrance;
By all means, I keep trying to be one with you!
High devotion and dedication comes...
...but only by your grace;
As a result of your grace, I feel no hurts or pain,

I read your Qur'an to be only in your thought;
Your constant zikr is my greatest love, I truly do;
God, help me get around positive thoughts...
...and cut out all sorts of negativity in my mind;
That's really the beautiful divine grace I want!
