In My Quest To See You... Poem by Mohammad Younus

In my quest to see you, ...
...I would yearn to rise up to you,
I would climb on the stairs everyday...
...to reach your home,
But stairs from earth to heaven...
...are nowhere in my view;
To touch the pedestals of your throne...
...I would keep on...
Climbing without stop and never spin...
...my head around;
I would apply as kohal the dust of...
...the road leading to you,
Such that my eyes would get a sight true...
...to look at you;
But, it is just a child's fantasy, ...
...you are not away from me;
We can see you in our hearts present, ...
...we all know,
Your mercies are not ever hidden, ...
...the believers' hearts know,
Your mercies tell me loudly, ...
...the merciful lord is ever with me,
I need not search you in...
...the eighteen thousand worlds...
...outside me.
