The Worldly Joys And Pleasures Are Like... Poem by Mohammad Younus

The worldly joys and pleasures are like...
...flickering and flashing lights of lightning...
...coming across your vision...
...that blind you with darkness;
Each time they fall upon your eyes...
You are left in total darkness...
...no sooner than they go;
So we should not hanker after...
...the fleeting joys of the world;
We must hold on instead to...
...perfect asceticism;
Clearly and coolly we must break away...
From the snaring charms of the world.
