The Word Of Wisdom Sent Down From Truth Poem by Mohammad Younus

The word of wisdom sent down from Truth...
...He revealed to us;
The sublime knowledge of Truth!
He explained to us great mysteries...
..about God and His beautiful manifestation;
And we swam and dived into the Ocean of One;
Glory be to Muhammad!

Beyond the bare hills, arid lands and deserts...
...of delusion, illusion, and ignorance...
...He guided us like a shepherd guides his flocks...
...to graze in grasslands, meadows and moors;
Under his guidance, we learnt to live...
...romantic, joyful, and peaceful divinely life;
Glory be to Muhammad!

We were like dry and lifeless plants in winter;
He moistened us with the water of life;
We grew big and became green plants;
We recognised our true self...
...and came back to life after we were dead;
Glory be to Muhammad!

To whatever lands we belonged,
To whatever races and languages we belonged,
He joined us together into one humanity;
He taught us the meanings taught to him by God;
All the 6666 verses in the Qur'an...
...and nothing did he hide from us;
Glory be to Muhammad!

He came here at the end of long trail of prophets;
To advise us to live in peace and harmony;
Let's be as members of universal brotherhood...
...and not live as strangers to one another;
Let's live under his bannermand follow...
... his golden teachings;
Glory be to Muhammad!

He showed us the straight road to God...
...and said: He is most near to you...
...wherever you are, He is with you;
Don't panic, don't lose hope, and...
...don't fight with each other;
Then you can live a peaceful life...
...without any stress or strife;
Glory be to Muhammad!

It's the same truth with you and me...
...the universal message!
Nothing reduces stress like the presence of...
... the wise Shepherd!
When you are living in close connection...
...to Muhammad, nyou can find the road...
...to God, and will not get lost;
Glory be to Muhammad!
