My Heart My Mirror Poem by Mohammad Younus

My HEART My MIRROR

God made my heart as a mirror that reflects both:
the blackness of my Kufr, and the light of my faith
Sometimes I find it as a pagan temple,
full with idols of every kind;
Sometimes I find it as Kàba,
empty of idols of all kind
But there is nothing in my heart,
There is only my own reflection
A fire-worshipper sees flaming fire
In his heart,
An idol- worshipper sees stone-deities in his heart,
A believer sees light and mellow music
In his heart,
The heart is the mirror in which where
I behold my essence: the light of Muhammad,
By which Ithink, speak, see, and hear,
By this light the dust of Adam bloomed with sound,
From that light were created all the worlds,
From that light proceeded the soul of Adam.
That light is the principle of all the things
that God created by His command
And so His light we see in things all
