When I See The Colourful Flowers Blooming Poem by Mohammad Younus

When I see the colourful flowers blooming...
...in a flower garden,
I see why the universe looks to me...
...like a vast flower garden,
We all are multi coloured flowers...
...in God's Garden,
Each bearing a differing colour, design, ...
...and odour,
We are only here for a season to bloom, ...
...for a short term indeed,
After us new flowers of our kind shall again...
...come here to bloom,
But, mind it, the seeds of good deeds that...
...we sow now...
...are the seeds that will grow and in Eternity bloom,
And the dead seeds (evil deeds) will lie buried...
...in the soil and shall never bloom.

When I see the divine music resonating in me...
...that makes me in exuberance dance,
I see the same music is flowing from everything...
...in the universe,
I see in pastures, green lands, moors, mountains, ...
...plains and deserts...
the same music resonates;
I see the clouds, rains, lightening, thunder, hail storm, ...
...snow storm...
...winds, hurricanes, tsunamis, gentle waves...
...chasing each other...
All send their chorus of voices to my heart and
...make it dance madly.

When I hear sweet words and verses from sages...
...saints, and prophets...
...I see why there is honey for bees in the cup of the flowers, ...
...and why pomegranates, grapes, apples and other fruit in the world, ...
...the divine providence has secretly filled with sweet and fresh juice;

When I see a mother even in her pain kissing her suckling child...
...to make that smile,
I surely see the pleasure streams of light flowing out of her eyes, ...
...that fall on the baby's face,
I see how the baby's face then sparkles with delight and cheer...
...as if the breeze from paradise has come to kiss the baby...
...in mother's cosy lap.
