The Enlightened Soul

O adamant ‘Self’ of mine,don’t enslave the heart full of sunshine,

Else you will ruin me or hold me in bondage of thine!

For ‘Self’ eat the good deeds and act according to its whims,

It chose the luxury of world harmful for inner being,

So don’t become a slave of satan,a worst enemy of thine,

Deception,cheating and temptations are his wildest entrapment,

To which one surrenders to him and falls for his ensnarement,

If my ‘Self’ fall for these extremely dangerous enticement,

Unknown of this tastier food which in real is venom,

Then batter my soul,o my Lord!knock it,shine it to mend,

Imprison it and give it a chance to repent,

Save it from clutches of satan, the disguised opponent,

Make my soul moulded,trained and disciplined,

A pre-requisite of sublime being,

Ah! a deep satisfaction with God’s will,

Makes my soul serene and still,

For Ye are Al-Saboor and Al-Musawwir.
