When I Was Waiting For Gifts Poem by Mohammad Younus

When I was waiting for gifts,
From my God,
I asked Him nothing for my love,
But his sweet music!
Qalandar does not carry,
A begging bowl with him,
Not even while at the threshold,
Of God's home!
Even a shining star does he,
Return to Him!
With great enthusiasm,
Rather he loves to watch,
The roaring waves,
Coming rushing to the shore,
And receding back to the sea,
Qalandar yearns to go along the waves,
To fulfill his wish to dissolve,
In the sea like a Salt Doll,
'O heart,
Why should it not happen with me?
'Come, O waves!
Take me on your shoulders,
To my destination,
What if I too dissolve into the sea!
