Melodies Poem by Mohammad Younus

All around me are melodies, and melodies,
They sound about me like honey-bees,
They never stop their buzzing about me,
From within and without touch me melodies,
But I tell my self, 'melodies, melodies...
You're coming from my God, God's mercy!
Let me take you in my soul's arms lovingly',
They arouse in me a fabulous longing...
...to remember my lord constantly,
I long to hear his name until the time stops,
I must run away from all other things,
and stop to hear the melodies attentively,
Look, a sea of music within me, waves kissing me!
An explosion of resonating music waves!
Like the singing houris most impatient to hug me,
Friends, these melodies remind me the Word of God,
They grow on me like bees buzzing around a flower tree,
They never seem to stop their melodies,
From a deep silence, somewhere deep within me...
...they are singing in fresh and fresher tunes:
Hu! Hu! Hu! La Illaha Illa Hu!
