What Is Love? Poem by Mohammad Younus

What Is LOVE?

O Love, You are famous
By different names
Among the people
But, I give You
Yet another name.
I call You Pain
Incurable
That is your real name
Always

O Love, I won't call
You anymore
Enough is enough
After this verse
Wherever you are
He is with you
It'senough
To love myself
That sings
Song of love
By your will
All alone
Always

O Love, You are singing
In delightful tunes
Your own songs
On your own flute
To your own self
In your own theatre
Always

O Love, When you shine
In my heart as a sun
At a dark night
Your radiation burns
All other in my heart
Until only you remain
To love your face
Always

O Love, Beyond doubt,
The manifest and the hidden,
You are.
Perceptible and imperceptible,
You are.
Shadow and shadowless,
You are.
Shape and shapeless,
You are.
The essence of all things,
You are.
The true self,
The prime source,
The first cause,
Of all your attributes,
You are
Always

O Love, I amblind,
I can'tsee you
What then?
You see yourself
Through my eyes
I am deaf,
I can't hear you
What then?
You hear yourself
Through my ears
I am mute,
I can't speak to you
What then?
You speak to yourself
on my tongue
You reveal yourself
To whom you will
That is your own self
You are your own witness
My love,
You are my seeing,
My hearing,
My speech,
When I am nothing
When I exist not
