If I Widen... Poem by Mohammad Younus

If I widen...
...like a ripple, if I widen...
...look for me, seek me from...
...the fathomless sea...
...In the bottom of my heart;

If my poems pale down and fade...
...like a flower in autumn...
...look for me then...
...in the sorrow of the autumn;

If you think...
...the earth is too small,
The seven skies over head...
...with countless galaxies...
...are too vast...
...that you will be lost...
...in their vastness,
Look for yourself...
...in the narrowness of the earth;
Look for yourself,
In the vastness of skies,

There is none with you,
Inside or outside of you,
Above or below you,
No place is sufficient for you!
Can a finite thing hold infinity?
Nothing can contain you,
But you fill everything...
...with your limitless presence;

If you think,
You are a flower...
...I kindly ask you,
Fill all the worlds...
...with your fragrance;
Do not hold back...
...the nectar from bees...
...when they come to kiss you;
You are the coolness of the pupils...
...that search, love and follow you;

If you think,
If I go with the Sun...
...in sound and light waves...
...I will be vanished,
Look for me...
...in glitter of my face, and...
...in the mellow music of my soul,
You won't find me...
...if you see me as evanescent,
Look for me rather...
...in low and high notes...
...coming out of my harp.
