Most Near To You As Light Is To The Sun Poem by Mohammad Younus

Most near to You as light is to the sun,
Yet I am fed up with my separation, my Love,
I can bear being separated from all and everyone,
But, separation from You is inconceivable, my Love,
If ever I get a chance to be in your close
presence,
I would read You the book of my poems, my Love
But, soon I realise when I get nearer to you:
It is your speech which I mistake as my poetry, my Love,
You ask me how I feel listening to your silence,
How could I speak about a thing...
...which is not a secret to you, my Love,
I have been listening your music in your silence from eternity,
Do not send me away from your presence, my Love,
For all I wish to do with my life is to love you,
And all your manifestation in the forms of your creation, my Love
