Stand Up, You Poem by Mohammad Younus

Stand up, you,
motionless,
calm and still,
before your Lord,
looking at you,
dear child of God.

Standing still,
with eyes and ears
hearing calmly
melodious music,
dear child of God.

From deep sleep,
the echoing tunes
will awaken you
to hear His word,
dear child of God.

And from darkness,
come out to light,
see in the mirror
just yourself,
dear child of God.

If you cannot see
your True self,
it's your fault.
Apply kohl to your eyes,
dear child of God.

In the mirror of the heart,
then you'll see
your True self.
This is His promise,
dear child of God.

On the Day of Alast,
from you He took
a promise to know
your Lord, your essence.
'Am I not your Lord? '
dear child of God.

He reminds you constantly
of your covenant with Him,
'I'll love you! I'll live in you!
I'll not live without you! '
Dear child of God.

He wishes you
to come back to Him running,
to live in Him,
dear child of God.

He is your Father,
waiting for you
at His Eternal Home,
holding a bouquet,
dear child of God.
