The Red Sea Poem by Mohammad Younus

... A sea of red is all around, splashing.
The waves are chasing each other
tossing against the shore.
Where an evil demon - laughing and then lashing -
...is standing: in darkness playing at his flute;
Black night... Red sea all around, splashing!
I know these waves… those beating deadly waves -
...spreading fear and terror!
And they are crimson with human blood;
Now blow off fear and terror, in such a mighty bold way...
...that the fiery waves stop chasing and tossing;
Open your eyes and see the ray of light:
A wondrous ray of light!
Dawn after the night of tempest!
Heave a sigh of relief - the sea is at peace!
The light of love and peace, I believe...
...will soon pervade the whole universe;
A ray of hope beaming from my breast!
And this is from the hidden sun which is the source of light;
And, inshaallah, you will bathe in this light...
That the hidden sun is pouring for you - a delight!
Do not say, I dare not look at this light;
You are born to cast your eyes on this light;
This light will fill your heart and breast with peace;
And you will become a torch bearer in this world..
To spread the light of love and peace!
