What Of A Blind Man? Poem by Mohammad Younus

What Of A Blind Person?

What of the night?
They ask the blind;
No answer comes;
Day and night
All the same;
How can he be...
A judge of colours?
Dead eyes...
In the sockets!
How can he walk...
On an uneven,
Zigzag steep road?
Not comfortably,
Not with good steps,
Not even on...
A straight road,
Unless somebody...
holds his cold hand;
How can he walk to God?
Tell him to worry not;
He is in him;
He is with him;
He is by him;
O blind man!
Open thy heart's eyes!
You can see him,
He is not some...
Corporeal being;
Do not frown at him;
Do not turn him away;
Would that you knew
That he too can purify himself;
With love (in his heart) ...
He too can know his lord;
Wisdom and knowledge...
Are his two eyes;
With which he can...
See and know his lord.
