Al- Qareeb! Cause Me To Draw Near To You! Poem by Mohammad Younus

Al- Qareeb¹! Cause Me to draw near to You!
You are just two bow-lengths away...
...or even closer!
I smell the fragrance of Your perfumes...
...when I pass by your garden of manifestation;
I will go on smelling your fragrance, and tire not...
...until You bring me into the Garden of Eden;
I feel Your right hand always on my crown...
...and my heart receiving intuition happily;
And I enjoy your cool kisses between my two eyes.

1. Allah calls Himself Al-Qareeb, the Near One, in the Quran. He is the One who is closest to mankind, by His hearing, seeing, knowing, and witnessing. The successful ones are those that are closest to Al-Qareeb.
