Lovers Of God Are Marching Poem by Mohammad Younus

Lovers of God are marching...
...on the path of love to be ever in, ...
...divine presence,
We are waywards lagging behind them,
I am drowned in a stream of tears...
...as I am in pain due to my desire...
...pending its approval by my lord...
To join his band of lovers,
They are a unique class of people...
....whom God has created for His love;
Through divine providence...
...they possess a lover's heart,
The owners of a lover's heart are those...
...who die before their deaths,
They drink from the cup of death..
...the water of eternal life;
They move from the temporal world...
...to the world of eternity;
And reside in peace in the eternal kingdom;
There they hear the divine speech: ¹
'Peace: a word from a Merciful Lord...
And get aside today, O guilty ones! '
They are those who sacrifice the worldly
...pleasures for seeking supreme bliss,
Nay, they sacrifice their heart and soul...
...for God realisation;
They walk non-stop...
...on the path of divine love;
And God is himself the recompense...
...for their sacrifice and love.
