My Love For My Divine Self Is On The Increasing Scale Poem by Mohammad Younus

My love for my divine self is on the increasing scale,
The river of love between my soul and the divine...
...keeps me united to Him incessantly;
The river of love is mighty as the Nile is in flood-time,
I dive and swim in the river of love like a dolfin...
... braves the waves,
My heart is strong on the deep, and never wavers;
I feel myself like Joan in the whale fish, reciting:
'There is no deity except You; exalted are You!
Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers'!
The flood throws me up on the land to divine presence,
It is my God's mighty love that gives me strength,
And makes me dive and swim in His waters of love;
I gaze at my heart's desire, with heart's ears I hear...
...in silence the music divine deep in the river of love;
As i stand in meditation facing Him...
...I hear in melodious voice the Kalimah of Allah:
Hu! Hu! Hu! La Illaha Illa Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu!
My Love appears on all sides, my heart exults!
My arms I have spread out to embrace my Love;
My heart sounds in divine Love: Hu! Hu! Hu!
Like a doll of salt, I have melted in the hot waters of love!
