The Rumi Within

"The Rumi Within" By Aadil Farook

Carve the path untraveled before Let your spirit fly and roar Your worth isn't a thousand or a crore It is tied to the ideal you adore Free yourself from mundane chores Let your forehead kiss the floor In your heart, let light pour Slowly, open the divine door Cling to the covenant you swore Collect the pieces that you tore Let God hear you implore Not asking for anything more Just the attire you once wore Seek new vistas to explore Love is a sea with no shore Let it transform your core The thought of vice, you'll abhor With Satan, you'll settle the score Your silent prayer, God won't ignore You'll be gifted with a mentor Let him be your salvor Faith in virtue, he'll restore Blessings will be galore Hedonism, you'll deplore Your selfhood will soar

Your bosom, a reservoir of compassion Your mind, a decoder of gnostic station Your eye, a witness to wonderment Your soul, home to secrets' unfoldment Your feet will learn ecstatic dance With God, you will enjoy romance

O' Seeker, It's time to erase the mark of sin Embrace yourself with a new skin Let the never-ending journey begin There is no defeat or win Neither enemy nor kin In any way, your life can spin If you don't fear any chagrin You'll discover the Rumi within

The deeper you dive In loneliness, you thrive There's no fight to survive Just strive, strive, and strive!
