Come To Me With A Heart Empty Of All Things! Poem by Mohammad Younus

Come to Me with a heart empty of all things!
He whispers in wordless voice...
...in my heart's ear!
I am here! I am here!
You need not to search me elsewhere!
Though I am all over in my world of creation!
I am in inhabited plains, in hot deserts۔۔۔
...in high mountains, in dark forests, in vast oceans!
Everywhere - that is true!
So hold your tongue and silent be!
There is no tongue that can describe me!
I am the heaven, sun, moon and stars!
I am the elements five making the things!
I am in all the six dimensions!
You cannot see my being with your head's eyes!
But my attributes you can see!
Go and seek my attributes!
But you cannot count and explain them all!
Your eyes want to see and encompass me!
I am the core and attribute of everything!
I revealed the Quran in the Night of Power!
No tight-shut mind can compass its meaning!
Moses wanted to know my secrets...
...from my sharp-sighted servant, Khidr!
And he also wanted to get the water of life!
He failed - that is true!
You can see me on my throne...
...if I make my throne on your heart!
But not in corporeal image - that is true.
The agony of vain searching knows no bounds!
Until one day you get my eyes on loan!
Then you can see only me!
I am the truth!
I manifest my truth...
...to him I choose for viewing my unity!
Come and empty your heart of all the images and thoughts...
...except remembering me!
Know O my devout lover! :
It is only the empty heart that can compass me!
So come with a pure heart, clear of all filth and dirt!
As a faqir who has nothing and who wants nothing but me!
