Walking Over The Crumbly Bridge Am I Poem by Mohammad Younus

Walking over the crumbly bridge am I,
On the sea of burning inferno down,
How can I hope to reach across...
...to the garden of eternity?
If I lose my balance and am tossed down;

So I seek thy support in crossing over the bridge,
Such that I get to the eternal garden,
Of Peace, Contentment, Cozy Music and Light;

Divine bliss! beyond my reach, thou art,
Even so, I harbour the fanatic longing...
...in my heart,
To draw near and nearer to thee;

Thy generous approval makes me...
...dance in delight,
As I notice thy immense grace and...
...honour available to me,
I jump up in mystic ecstasy as I find,
Thy rain of mercy showering on me;

All the time! I hear Thy Flute sounding,
Its notes take me up on the Summit,
From there I send my glances down,
I tremble lest I should again fall down,
In the darkest and deepest gorges down;

I cry out to lord:
After thou guidest me on the path of love,
Do not please cause my heart swerve,
On elevation am I, I see single beauty...
...spread out,
Gone my delusion! gone my illusion!
