A Feeling Of Contentment And Ecstasy Poem by Mohammad Younus

A feeling of contentment and ecstasy,
When you hear the call from your God,
Is a sure sign that your God is pleased with you.
You must as such put your faith in deeds pleasing to God.

Your desire to withdraw from everything,
That distracts your attention,
When Allah has involved you in His constant zikr
Signifies an evident sign of mercy from your God;

Your desire for involvement with the people,
Of knowledge and wisdom means,
That Allah wants to withdraw you from,
The people of ignorance, and negligence.
That is indeed a fulfillment of your high aspiration,
To be in constant intimacy with the friends of God.
Such is God's grace that He bestows upon,
Whomever of His servants He wills.
God is Possessor of Infinite Grace.

Your Aspiration for awareness and enlightenment,
Which springs from your brain to your heart,
Is a hidden secret, that helps you break open,
The walls of world's prison, so that you be,
Like a free bird that soars up and up.
A clear sign of Divine bounty on you.

Give yourself a rest from roaming in wilderness!
When He whom you are seeking is not cut off from you,
Don't you perceive that He is your essential truth...
...and that you do not live by yourself!
