With Optimism And Hope Poem by Mohammad Younus

With optimism and hope,
I look for my beloved,
In nook and corner of the universe,
But, I fail to find her trace anywhere,
This universe is too small...
...while she is too big,
Limitless! Infinite!
She abides in her own infinity,
One who wants to get to infinity,
Must first become one with infinity,
One must be like such a Haveli,
As is infinitely spacious,
That is the boundless heart!
...wherein only the boundless abides,
The extensive earth and the skies...
...are too insufficient for her;
I haven't to go anywhere in search of her,
I just have to remain standing at the doorsteps...
...outside her infinitely spacious Haveli,
Sometime the door shall open indeed,
The dawn has come,
The dark night has gone,
I stand under the golden umbrella of the sky,
With my eyes rolled up...
...to stare at her face,
My eyes come down tired and weary,
Desperately looking for her in the Haveli,
I have reached the brink of eternity,
Where there is no death!
Where the eternity prevails!
Everything perishes save her face,
So what canst see thou?
She sees herself by herself alone,
Either be her eye, or her face!
Every thing is beloved's face,
The lover is hidden in the veils of...
...the varied forms,
Come, let us drown our individuality...
...in her sea,
Let's sink in her essence,
Let me feel for once...
...the sweet touch of her fellowship
