What Can Liberate Us From The Trap Of Satan? Poem by Mohammad Younus

What can liberate us from the trap of Satan?
It is said, it is to know first what is Satan;
Is he our external enemy who stands in ambush?
Is he our own vile nafs who commands us to do evil?
This may well sow some wisdom in our soul...
...to purify, pacify, and beautify our nafs...
...such that our satisfied nafs returns to our Lord...
...well pleased, and well pleasing,
And joins the band of lovers of God...
...to walk to paradise, the abode of peace!
But without the Fazal of God,
How can we think of entering the paradise?
Paradise is nothing but to be in divine presence;
What would wisdom be,
If that did not lead us to see divine presence?
In divine presence, our soul must always repose;
What liberates us is seeing God in our very depths.
