A Lover Of God Always Feels... Poem by Mohammad Younus

A lover of God always feels
His ocean of light...
...in every atom of God's creation
He finds himself in God's light
He needs not to unite with Him;
He craves not to dissolve in Him-
Because God is absolute oneness
The true light shines upon Him
Where the two bows meet -
Light upon light gushes out,
From his forehead indeed
Sound upon sound streams out -
From his back head in truth
Nothing can prevent him,
From gazing at His light
Even worldly pursuits,
Do not distract him
With his heart's eye,
He watches His light,
He listens to His melody,
Through his heart's ear-
Until he dies before his death,
And comes to live in Lord's light
Wheresoever he turns to,
He sees only His light,
He perceives with his crystal eye,
The stark reality about God:
Alone He was,
Nothing was with him;
He is now as He was;
He will be as He is;
He is essentially One;
With nothing beside Him;
He is Inwardly Hidden;
He is Outwardly Manifest;
He is without beginning;
He is without end;
Whatever he look at;
He sees His face;
He is without ifs and buts;
He is without how and what;
He is without when and where-
He knows God is in his own image.
