The Sound Palaces Poem by Mohammad Younus

As the first command - "Be! " - is delivered
The pen begins its first movement and produces the first speech
Am I not your lord?
"Yes, of course, my lord! I replied
As the curtain of non-existence was removed
The first manifestation of divine speech appeared
The wordless speech filled all the worlds around
This mellow divine voice touched the ears of my heart,
My soul does not submit to the world of beauty
My soul does not get infatuated with forms of water and clay
As the divine sound takes me away from myself
It openes the inner eye of my heart to witness
The eternal beauty expressed in all forms and colours
In the language of love, the echoing word is our soul,
We are light beings who live in the sound palaces.
