Moses And Khidee Poem by Mohammad Younus

Like Moses the lovers seek the elexir of Eternal Life -
Hidden in the realm of darkness -
the Lord's secrets hidden in the chests of awakened souls,
They carry the treasure of jewels within,
But, they wear the patched robes,
A great number of shells are lying at the bottom of an Ocean,
But the diver must know the oyster shell,
Moses also in the valley of search meets,
A green robed Faqir, Khidre by name,
Living at the meeting point of two seas,
Moses! You would never be patient with me,
Lo! If you want to accompany me,
Do not ask me any questions,
Like a master and pupil they went on,
Khidre shows him some mysteries and riddles,
But Moses had no acumen for the hidden truths,
Humiliated he puts down his wings,
I know nothing of such riddles, he says,
I know not this or that, I'm blank in
the middle'
Be not like Moses if you desire to gain,
Some pearls from your Murshid
