Phantom Desires Poem by Mohammad Younus

He that nullifies his self becomes worthy of God's love,
The flower that doesn't lose the self,
Cannot surely become the perfume,
As your existence becomes nought,
At once you shall perceive what the essential being is,
Truly your self is Iblis as it refuses to bow down,
Following the dictates of your self,
You gamble away your heart in vain desires,
Such a vain pursuit will never profit you,
The heart becomes possessed by phantom desires,
That turns you deaf to thecelestial music,
As you draw every breath for living the earthly life,
You become blind to see the essentiallight in your heart,
The worldly desires smoke the eyes of your heart,
This is the naked truth, you must know,
My dear, I have said all that I know;
You might follow or follow not, that is your choice,
God shows the path to those who listen
