The Passion To Know Hidden Mysteries Poem by Mohammad Younus

The passion to know hidden mysteries—
Of my true essence, true meaning,
and the mesmerizing universe—
burns within my chest:
an unquenchable flame,
keeping me longing, day after day.

Without this fire,
what would remain of me?
My chest, an empty vessel,
devoid of the treasure of wisdom—
a hollow filled with fleeting imaginings
and the bitter taste of salty dreams.

'I'm strong enough, ' 'I can do this, '
these words echo in my mind.
Since the day I left paradise,
this thought has lived within me:
to return to my first state of purity.

But how can I find my way back?
How can I step once more
into that sacred space?
This passion propels me,
urging me to search for
the paradise I've lost,
to reclaim the essence
that was mine.

I crave peace—
a stillness beyond understanding.
I chase love—
its warmth a beacon through the night.
I battle against the harsh winds, unyielding.
Yet I am never tired—
for this is my fight, my purpose:
to return to the home I once knew,
to the place where all is one,
and I am whole again.
