Two Roads Poem by Mohammad Younus

Two roads of evil and good...
...go parallel to each other;
Which way you tread on is your choice;
Your choice decides your success or failure in your life;
Apply your sound judgement, and know:
These two roads run parallel only at the beginning;
And sorry, towards the end, they diverge;
You cannot travel both, or you will surely get lost;
You be a goal oriented traveler, and so you must...
...travel along the road of Good;
Walk and walk on this straight road as far as you can...
...to go where lead the prophets and the friends of God;

Walk not on the road of evil - That is quite unfair;
Then, you wil have surely no claim to enter...
...the Heavenly Kingdom - the abode of peace;
That kingdom - you must know - is only for the chosen persons...
...who have gained the pleasure of their lord...
...by following the religion of love;
And have acquired the knowledge divine and wisdom...
...and thus attained to awareness and enlightenment;
God has rewarded them really through His mercy...
...for doing sincere love to Him and His children,

I shall be telling you the truth about my travel...
...on the Path of Good - path of love, peace, and tranquility,
Sometime - years and years before:
Two roads I sighted before my eyes, and I...
...took the one traveled by the prophets and the friends,
And that has made all the difference in my life.
