Here In My House Is Some Flutist Poem by Mohammad Younus

Here in my home is some flutist...
...enthusiastically playing at his flute,
Just in order to give eternal peace to me,
To change my dark and fretful nights...
...to lightful days,
To combust the thorny bushes of...
...the evil nafs in me...
...by burning the fire of love in me...
...n order to enlighten my soul...
...and give a clear vision to me...
...so that the flashes of divine light...
...I see clearly,
When the fire has totally consumes me...
...do not think that I have annihilated,
I'm alive, among the living,
In the rays of truth I'm shining,
I take refuge with my lord of love,
In his wordless voice he...
...does console and assure me,
'Do not think you are stranger to me, '
He bestows patience upon me,
Thus I glow with divine love,
Doing the zikre of Allah is all I long for,
Such that I do not in gloom stay,
Angels come forward and gather 'round me,
They smile, talk, and sing songs of love to me...
...within my soul they keep me happy,
Yes, for love of my lord am I burning,
Let me melt and let me smoulder in his love,
He is the true God the Almighty...
...that I worship sincerely.
