I Should Get Up Now Poem by Mohammad Younus

I should get up now
I am well near the last hour,
I should clear now,
The mirror of my heart,
Filmed with dust -
Duality and worldly rust -

I should get up now,
I still have enough time,
To stop the poisonous arrows,
Hunting down my eyes,


I should get up now,
Write the poems of love,
On the pages of my heart,
That I must read,
When on my deathbed,

I should get up now,
It is past midnight,
I must get out of my cosy bed,
Strike the chords of my guitar,
Hanging on the wall of my heart,

I should get up now,
Stop playing the guitar,
Welcome the beaming sun,
Good God! it is my joyful dawn,
I have been waiting for.
