How Hard It Is To Be Humble Poem by Mohammad Younus

How hard it is to be humble,
yet to be strong and bold,
How hard it is to be alone,
yet to be truly cut off from others,
How hard it is to be...
...in the company of others,
yet to be with God alone,
How hard it is to be frail and old,
yet to be young in spirits bold,
How hard it is to be powerless,
yet to be unrelenting and fearless...
...before the tyrants merciless, ,
How hard it is to be forlorn and alone,
yet to be mirthful and not moan and groan, ,
How hard it is to be with no one watching,
yet to be honest and upright alone,
How hard it is to trudge bleak highways,
yet to continue walking without losing hope,
How hard it is to be stuck in marshy lands,
yet to try relentlessly to pull out of the mud,
How hard it is to walk through desert...
...with no star shining in the sky,
yet continue travelling while riding on the camel,
Oh God, oh God,
I remember your promises...
...the glittering fair promises...
...with which you bless me,
Oh God, oh God,
l candidly accept all your great favours to me,
It is only you who helps me achieve great victories,
Receive great laurels and precious gifts of life,
And I know you love me immensely...
...for not getting weary...
...while walking through your valleys,
Walking over the sharp thorns...
...and formidable mountains and oceans! ! !
I serve you only and seek help only from you.
