Shimmering Light Poem by Mohammad Younus

I am a rose, my thorns give me life;
Bees come and sit on my bosom;
I give them nectar of life to drink;
I am the wick of the earthen lamp;
Through burning I give out shine;
I am the shimmering light of the Sandhyadeep;
To night travellers I show the way;
I am the bitter herbal plant;
I have the cure for sick and ailing;
I love The Eternal life,
so I dive deep into the water of life;
My eyes looked outwards;
So I was full of pain with infatuation;
I saw myself ignorant, and stupid;
So I sat in the gathering of saints and sages;
I picked up a pinch of dust from love's alley;
So I applied it to my eyes as Kohal to be able to look inside;
Love said, "Yes, that's right, but don't see it from your self;
I am the flamming sun and you are the dead earth;
I enliven you with my heat and light;
and so I inspire you to know and love me.'
