Utter No Word Poem by Mohammad Younus

Utter No Word

Peace, eternal peace! That is the only thing I pursue?
My mad heart hankers after you;
How gonna I am to achieve you?
Of his breath of peace God has created human;
A riddle whose answer all mad lovers seek to know!
The people of reason but admonish them...
...to desist from such a vain desire;
Their counselling works like oil on fire!
The lover of the truth carries no desire for paradise...
...and has no fear of flamming Fire;
The captive of your love knows it well...
...that in Love lies his peace in this world and the hereafter;
The wine of love has intoxicated him;
In the state of intoxication, he speaks like an awakened man:
'I have come of infinity - that is my reality, '
O cascade! Bewail not the separation from your original source!
Look back and see...
...you are not disjoined from your source!
Just, He has decreed that you should appear...
...remote from Him!
To start and play the game of Love!
Utter no word! Just go on chanting your verses...
...of union and separation!
Many of such wondrous lovers of God do I know.
