My Lord Always Showers His Gifts On Me Poem by Mohammad Younus

My lord always showers his gifts on me,
What gift of mine can I give in return?
Nothing, I don't possess anything,
He gives me the smiling dawn?
I take a bath with his silver light,
And go out to start a new day,
He makes me hear morning sweet song,
He never tires from singing his divine song,
Then he showers the heat of the glowing sun,
That sustains all life on the earth...
to support the existence of man...
...for being an active agent of God,
Because man bears the trust of God...
...that angels could bear not,

O friend, when you come to...
...the gate of Rehman, at dawn or dusk, ...
...what do you ask him for?
Nothing, but his pleasure, and the wine...
...f Marifat ~ gnosis,
What can you give in return?
You possess nothing!
Ask him for more and more of...
... his wine of love,
That intoxicates not but fills your heart...
...with music and light divine;
Ask him to lit the lamp of light...
...in the room of your silent house,
No wind will blow it out,
you can even go with it down...
...a crowded market place,
Truest treasure is thex light of...
... knowledge and wisdom;
When it shines in your heart, ...
...it never goes off again,
Ask him always, my lord please...
...Increase me the light of knowledge.
