Hazrat Yusuf and Mirror
After finishing the story, Hazrat Yusuf
Asks for the gift he well deserved
Reaching at the gate of a friend without anything
Is like going to mill without wheat for grinding
Allah will ask on Judgement Day
Bring! Where is my gift for today? (1)
Why you came empty handed O’ astray
Just like we created you, still alone on the way? (2)
You did not expect to return here anyway
Why did you forget our promise for today?
You are the one who denied our promise
Thus, dust and ashes would be your meal
If you are not a denier, an unbeliever
Then Why do I see nothing in your hands
If you could reduce your sleep and food
You could have carried something for your friend (3)
Better stay awake now, onwards and sleep less
Rise early in the morning to repent on your sins
Embryo in a mother’s womb starts moving
And its sense organs start developing (4)
You must develop the insight within
Toward the 7th sky, you’ll keep rising (5)
Get out of the world blocking vision
And reach a huge ground never seen
This ground is called Allah’s plain
Prophets have walked on this terrain (6)
This is the plain of eternal life, here
The dates remain wet and do not dry
