In A Desert, Did I Find, a Rose So Fair Poem by Mohammad Younus

In a desert, did I find, a rose so fair,
With a radiant smile on its lips,
Gladly, I approached and...
...jumped with exuberance,
Ah! How great!
Bees kissing and singing to it with love,
Ah! how come! You blossomed in an arid desert,
Noble hands must have got you from the garden of Eden,
With a silent smile, the rose replied, 'Don't lose heart!
This desert I wouldn't give up for the garden of Eden,
A solitary rose I am here, but Eden is there...
...where I bloom,
Amidst this blessed desert, ...
...I stand to show of my beauteous face,
In this desert, a flamboyant flame of divine light I am,
Divine beauty's resonating song I am,
A unique miracle from Allah, I am...
...that only divine seers can perceive!
Don't feel dejected and forlorn,
Behold! you too have a rose in your desert...
...that is Me...
...waiting to touch your soft face.
