Music-Wine Poem by Mohammad Younus

If God didn't love Music...
...there wouldn't be the Horis in Heaven;
If God didn't love music...
...there wouldn't be the musical mornings and evenings;
Since God and His friends both dearly love music...
...how dare a mere Mulla reproof me for listening to music?
The melodious music, I hear with my heart and soul!
It is only this music that makes its listener a Sage...
...and opens to him the door of the House of True Wisdom;
Since the Sage and the Wise are both the listeners of the Heavenly music...
...what need have I to search for some Godman to lead me to the Truth?
The cups of music wine, I take while walking on the Great Way;
A jar-full after a jar-full does not quench my thirst for music wine;
I go on telling to the cup-bearer...
...Have you something more? Have you something more?
And the cup-bearer is very gracious in nature!
He is giving me to drink freely the wine music in his tavern!
If you want to know what's worth drinking music wine...
Nothing doing for making an ascetic understand the value of drinking wine...
...who has had never touched the cup of wine;
This is a special wine that adds to the sobriety of its drinkers;
Pure Wine!
That the immortal servants serve in heaven to the lovers!
That wine never runs out, nor do the drinkers get inebriated!
