The Only Wealth I Seek Poem by Mohammad Younus

My master gave me a golden piece of advice;
Listen, listening is better than speaking empty words;
Listen to the golden words...
...that the accomplished masters offer you free!
With savvy sages, associate and pick up the pearls precious:
For in ambush lies Satan, your avowed enemy;
To the seekers, the two worlds are worth naught...
...compared to the three disjoined letters A, L, M;
Your master alone - the revealer of secrets - can tell you their meaning;
For, those three letters are key to knowledge divine;
A Godly friend and an adept teacher you must always seek...
...who will guide you to the truth through the tune of the lute;
He'll teach you how to abstain from mundane desires and avoid sin;
O Beneficent! Pour the purest pearls and rubies into my tulip-like cup of heart,
Your charity of the lustrous and high valued pearls and rubies...
...is the only wealth I seek in this world.
