We Are Actually Of The Sea... Poem by Mohammad Younus

We are actually of the sea, ...
...our essence intertwined;
Yet why this duality in our minds?
The world, a mere mirage...
...before our eyes!
Be careful, you might get killed...
...the while you are running after it...
...with the desire to quench your thirst.

All we possess in realms...
...both near and far, ...
....truly is ephemeral.
Eternity belongs to God!
...the Morning Star!
His love, a secret kept...
...within my heart;
It is truly my real essence!
It is the secret hidden!

Let you know that lovers truly are:
Companions to the gobblet!
Comrades to the Saki;
No division exists at all...
...between the drinker and the Saki.
Don't let your mind be shaky...
...in love's assembly,
We take cup on cup here...
...but sobriety we lose not.

A royal party thrown to lovers!
The wine of love offered to drinkers here...
...himself by the generous king...
...by His own lovely hand.
As long as I'm in the tavern of the Lord...
Even kings will beg me for a sip.
