Rising From The Dead Poem by Mohammad Younus

Rising From The Dead

Rising from the dead is in every way...
...spectacular and miraculous;
‘Cause the dead have not to stay dead;
'And says man:
What! when I am dead...
...shall I truly be brought forth alive?
Does not man remember...
that We created him before,
...when he was nothing? '¹

Until the Day of resurrection...
...no one will be raised from the dead;
Everything is bound to perish...
...save His (eternal) Self!
To show all that they have to account...
...for their deeds and beliefs...
...with Him rests all judgement on that day...
...when one and all will be raised from the dead;
And unto Him shall we all be brought back!
By His permission...
Israfìl will blow the trumpet, and shout:
Rise! Rise by the command of my Lord!

In the same manner...
...when the Arifeen hear the trumpet...
...they wake up from the deep ignorance;
Their mind, soul, heart, their whole person...
...revives and rises from the dead...
...in response to Divine call to know one-reality;
From the start of ages, sages have proclaimed:
La mojood illa hu - there exists only one-reality!
He who comprehends this truth of one-reality...
...for him this divine knowledge is Proof of Salvation!

Dead are only they who are drained of...
...flow of divinely music and light;
They who recover from illusion...
...and disillusion can walk with divine!
Dualism begets the delusion...
...about the existence of one-reality.
