There Is No Other Place For Me To Live Poem by Mohammad Younus

There's No-other-place for me to live,
Though this world is cruel and cold;
I have to live with mean, but be bold;
I don't won't to be evil and bad,
Because it would make me,
...and my society sad;
There's no-other-place for me to live;
No place at all! Yes, no place at all!

I am born here! I'll be buried here!
I'll be resurrected here! I'll be judged here!
I'll be rewarded here! I'll be punished here!
It's hard to be understood, I'm sure dear!
There's no-other-place for me to live;
No place at all! Yes, no place at all!

Only few will like to walk with me, I dread;
Sometimes I wonder I'm going on an empty road;
But then I feel better off when I see that...
...I'm walking on the road treaded upon...
...by the true believers, and sages of old;
There's no-other-place for me to live!
No place at all! Yes, no place at all!

I see few to talk to, who would appreciate...
...the words of wisdom and divine revelation;
Still I cannot stay quiet as a mouse in its hole;
Most people approach the people of wisdom...
...and divine knowledge with a mind befogged;
They plug their ears and not listen to the truth at all;
There's no-other-place for me to live!
No place at all! Yes, no place at all!
