My Beloved! Poem by Mohammad Younus

My Beloved!
Give me to drink the nectar of love
My soul is blazing in flameless and smokeless fire
I am eager to see your billowing flames
I am eager to see your dazzling light
I am eager to talk to you face to face
Come out of the darkness to light
My beloved, I know, is dwelling within
Playing on the reedless flute all the time
Under His shining sun, effulging light upon light
I peeped into my heart to see him close by
But found there is absolutely nothing
In the limitless space: except my beloved
Shaped in my own image
