Hatif Whispered To Me Poem by Mohammad Younus

Hatif whispered to me:
Let not the ignorant hear this secret;
I'll tell you the secret way...
...that can lead you to the Truth:
Ignore the paths of others;
Everyone has his own way;
Ignore even the saints' steep trails;
They are not living to lead you the way;
Behold! Every saint has got his own way;
Don't follow blindly!
Don't journey at all aimlessly!
Rip the veils from your face;
You will know, you are the goal;
You need not go elsewhere;
Don't walk on the zigzag and crisscrossing roads;
Walk on the straight path that goes from You to You;
If the light is in your heart...
...you'll find your way home (Rumi) .
