It's So Much Joy And Pleasure! Poem by Mohammad Younus

It's so much joy and pleasure!
If I should lose it, what a curse!
And yet, as a Faqïr I am!
I have ventured all along
To dedicate myself to my lord
To keep away from all other
Hesitated to heed to the Satan's call
This is my side of Victory!
I gained? the true meaning of Life -'
Life is but Life that continues
It is self-sustaining, everlasting -
Without alpha and omega
Death cannot break it -
As a sword can't split the water
Bliss is but Bliss: the divine sound and light
And, if indeed, I am blessed as such
I will be in Perpetual Salah
Breath is but Breath! Stops,
When lord withdraws His command
If I pray the Perpetual Salāh -
For sure, to say the least,
I will listen to the divine word
Would that I gain my presence there!
In that Celestial Masjid
Oh Bells, that in the Heavens be!
At first, sound it slow!
For the Bell, I know, is a Qawli Thaqël
A sound of great gravity
It might extinguish me!
