THE CLUE TO TRUE HAPPINESS
Last night, with the waning moon, some time I spent,
And even conversed with some beings of the firmament,
"Conform your will to the Almighty's will,
And you will have no fear or grief, no cause to repent."
And as I was pondering on all that i had faced,
A silent voice within me shook me and said:
"Wisdom is in realising the secret of your peace,
And it lies in making your lone droplet rejoin the seas."
"See, how many a great soul's mortal remains lie covered,
By tons of dust, clay, shrubs and visited by a Bird,
Which knows more about the one lying down beneath,
So take heed! Shun the vain and the absurd."
"And also keep in mind that the age in which you are,
Is hastening fast to doom which isn't very far,
Think good, do good and revel in His thoughts,
Care not about the heedless and a mirage-like star."
"The secret of true happiness is hidden within you,
O Emmenay! Think of all the good you can do,
Meditation and contemplation in the company of God,
Are the keys to your solace, yes, they hold the clue."
