In My Prison To Know The Unknown... Poem by Mohammad Younus

In my passion to know the unknown,
I failed, I got astounded when I slipped down,
I continued like a stubborn child,
Curious to know the unknown,
In the midst of my quest for true knowledge,
I continue practicing being myself,
I found many secrets about myself,
That I never had dreamt of ere,
I goaded them out,
From under the deep layers of darkness,
In the sea of my heart,
Like an old diver! ! !
And found so many pearls concealed,
In the oyster shells deep down,
Followed my quest
deeper...
...into dangerous regions,
I found there so many hidden parts of myself,
I learnt that pearls aren't to be found on the earth,
When I look at these pearls,
Sunlight comes out of their mouths,
That gives me new light...
To see through concrete walls,
And I see me and I
say:
I am this beautiful being! ! !
