After Spending... Poem by Mohammad Younus

After spending...
...almost fifty years,
Contemplating, and
Meditating...
...on the same reality:
The focus of true mystics...
...and waiting for:
Awareness and...
...enlightenment,
It dawned on me,
I have been...
Well and truly...
...enlightened already,
A long time ago..
When I was asked
By my Lord:
Am I not your Lord?
Perceiving my reality...
...I had responded...
...in the affirmative
Yes, of course, my Lord!
I was enlightened then!
I am enlightened now!
How else could I say:
Yes, of course, my Lord!
Every hour do I say:
Bala - yes, You are!
