Let Me Tell You Truth Poem by Mohammad Younus

With glistening flashes of light...
...all clouds from the heart are removed;
Come, polish the mirror of your heart!
To remove off your ego's rust;
So that it shines with divine light;
The light that he showers on his friends!
To open their heart's tongues to glorify his beauty;
Let me tell you the truth:
You are yourself the cloud shrouding your sun;
Know you the true reality of your own self!
If these clouds are removed from your heart's eyes...
...surely you will see the sun shining brightly;
Which is you - your true self!
You will get enveloped by the light of your own sun!
Then, you will hear with the ear of your heart: I am the Truth!
The secret hidden, that you are, is now open!
You will, thus, get out from darkness of night...
...to the Light of dawn-
Light upon light will illumine your mind and heart!
And you'll come to know that you were hidden...
...from yourself by veils of your own ego;
If your eyes were not veiled, if your heart were not sealed,
The truth would not be hidden from you...
That you are the secret of God, and God is your secret! ! !
