Bubbles In The Sea Poem by Mohammad Younus

Why should I go to temples or jungles...
....in search of my Lord?
Right beside me in my cottage
...is my Lord!
Why should I visit...
...a mausoleum or a hermitage...
...in search of my Lord?
I will neither leave my house...
...nor will I travel...
...in search of my Lord;
Why should I go on long journeys...
...to search for my Lord?
I know, he is my life! ...
My essence, my true reality is my Lord!
In the garden of existence that blooms...
...from eternity is my Lord!
In the hustle and bustle of the market-place...
...of life is active my Lord!
In the Life stream flowing from eternity...
...is to be seen my Lord,
Without beginning and without ending...
...is He, my Lord!
Who knows where and what is...
...the source of the life stream?
Who knows where is it progressing ahead...
...along its course?
Does this life stream have a linear flow...
...without endings, who knows?
Does this life stream flow along...
...the circular course, who knows?
He is to be seen...
...in the lightning and thunders of life;
He is to be seen...
...in the silent and steady flow of life stream;
He is to be seen...
...in the mighty winds, and heavy showers of rain;
He is to be seen...
...in the slow and steady falling of snow flakes;
He is to be seen...
... in the enormous light and melodious music;
He is to be seen...
...in the overlapping darkness and frightful shriek;
But how can you see...
...the sea through the bubble's eye?
Do you not know that a bubble...
...is ephemeral and shortlived?
But, if God opens your perceptive eye...
...of course, you will see:
A bubble dies in the same ocean...
...from which it is born!
All the bubbles have the same essence, ...
...water!
And no one of them is separate...
...from the mother water!
All things living you must know...
...are born of water!
