Divine Unity Poem by Mohammad Younus

They say that God resides in the
Heaven...
...far from the created world;
Being apart from each other, the lover and his beloved...
...so play a dual game of love fonder;
I can't help but wonder;
Is that true when in fact God is absolutely one?

How can I assume that I am...
...separated and cut off from the Oneness?
Actually nothing and none is apart from Him;
If at any hour I live۔۔۔
...without thinking about the Oneness...
...I feel like I have lost all the truth I ever knew;

Sometimes, I wish I could find him in some human form...
...to play the game of love;
But, soon after I feel sorry for making such an absurd wish;
However, this heart still wishes to see, hear, and know Him;
Actually, He plays His own Love Game through me...
...for He is Himself Love, Lover, and beloved.

Through all my years, I have been under the delusion...
...that I am one and He is my other;
May be I'll find my way back to Him...
...when I understand the Oneness;
I know it's difficult to write in words about the Oneness...
...unless God is pleased with me۔۔۔
...and turns me around to look at the face of His Oneness;

May be one day i'll be standing so close to Him...
...as is my hearing and seeing close to me;
I am hopeful that no more shall I see differently...
...on the reality of Oneness;
And I'll no more build a wall between Me and the reality;
Nay, I'll no more say Me and He;
For Oneness signifies that there exists nothing but He!
