The Road To Mekka Poem by Mohammad Younus

The road to Mekka is not long and perilous;
You need not cross the sea in ships to reach:
The House of God
You need not to fly over the air in planes to reach:
The House of God
You need not trek across vast plains, and deserts:
To reach the House of God
You need not to pass through dense jungles!
To reach the House of God
You need not to scale the high formidable mountains!
To reach the House of God
The straight road passes through your heart
To the Marvelous presence of Al-Haq
That you can witness under the light...
...of the fire of love blazing on your heart
Your heart can take on any form:
An orchestra echoing with sweet music
A meadow blooming with wild flowers,
Of multi colours, giving out heavenly fragrance
The Kába free of the idols, sacred house,
The Ka'ba for the lovers to circle around,
Here you will find the Preserved Tables,
The scrolls of Divine knowledge and wisdom

I profess the religion of love;
I read the book of love;
Wherever and in whatever form Love blooms...
...that is the belief, the faith I keep:
That is the pure faith of all the prophets...
...who came afore, and showed us the way.
