You Dwell In Me Poem by Mohammad Younus

We need not to weep for our loss of paradise,
When we know that you dwell in our hearts...
...where no Satan can intrude to beguile us,
And induce us to be disloyal to you and rebel.

Your love for us continues though expelled;
Like the dawn- light at the end of dark night…
...Your love keeps illuminating our souls...
...awakening us from beneath the deep slumber.

The sound of your voice opens our ears and eyes;
The melodious music from your mouth we hear;
That echoes in our hearts and makes your presence clear;
Every secret unfolds under your light;
And we get from you the knowledge divine and wisdom.

You place on us your smiles like wreaths of flowers;
You give us life, perfect and complete...
...to enlighten our hearts for seeing in darkness...
...your face sparkling under the shine of your light.

We no longer look towards your other;
We no longer find you to be distant from us;
As we discover that you dwell inside the rhythm...
...of the music of heart sounding close to us.

In truth, we cannot see you with our gross eyes;
But, with our souls' eyes we gaze upon your face...
...smiling back at us from within everything around us;
And we realise nothing has true existence besides you.

Let us not think ourselves as beings in addition to you;
How can we exist, sustain and grow independent of you?
Lend us eyes that would enable us to see your presence...
...in all things that you have created in the universe.

We are the believers in Unity of being,
We profess the religion of unity - la Illaha Illa Hu!
Wherever we turn to, we notice you smiling at us;
That is the belief true, that is the religion we adhere to.
