Since Your Word First Touched My Soul Poem by Mohammad Younus

Since your Word first touched my soul,
music flows like liquid, gushing from within me.
Fortunate that these musical streams
never stray from my essence.

For I know only one truth—
'I am the Truth, ' and I am not dishonest
to conceal it, nor recognize any voice
that could detach me from you.

I have no intention to linger or forget you,
as your melodies carry me on wings
to the highest garden of eternity.
These melodies reside within me,
not sought outside me.

The more I listen, the more I forget
my assumed identity,
awaiting the day when I no longer perceive
you as separate from me.

In my heart, I yearn to completely forget
this sense of separation,
eager to dissolve into Absolute Unity.
