The Sermon On Love Poem by Mohammad Younus

I have been very much impolite and uncouth;
My harsh words have wounded many a delicate heart;
Indelible brands have I stamped on innocent hearts;
Love cannot be won by terror and hate, I didn't know;
Then, I heard the sermon of love from the invisible sage;
Through his counselling from the pulpit in my heart...
...he turned the beast in me into a kind human being;
I was delighted as if I got relieved from burning heat...
...by the heavy rain showers of monsoon during June and July;
The Sermon of Love comforted my disturbed mind;
The words of love gave a healing touch to my diseased heart;
When I recovered from my heart's disease, I began to feel...
...as if the Great God covered my being with his sweet love;
Now I smell His love all around, and Iike a bee I sit on every rose;
I sing, dance, glide and fly in the rose garden of my God;
My heart has become the rose garden of His love;
So I have diverted from outside into my inside...
...to enjoy the divine rhythm constantly echoing in my heart.
