Don't You Know What He Said Poem by Mohammad Younus

Don't you know what He said—
Peace be upon you,
You are light from My light,
The secret of My secret.
You are not just a lump of clay,
Not merely a compound of four—
Water, clay, fire, and air.

Don't you know I am calling you
to My home of peace?
Come out of My valleys of majesty and beauty,
Walk to Me and follow My call.
I will grace you with a ladder
to ascend to My Throne rung by rung.
I am the king over you, your lord!
You are My chosen caliph,
I give you dominance over all the worlds.

Leave the worlds and come to Me.
How can a man of clay and water behold
the exalted lord with gross eyes?
But one who loves Me, finds Me.
One who finds Me, loves Me,
and looks at My beauteous face
with an unwavering inward eye.
He loves Me like the legendary Majnun
who says: I love Leila and Leila is I.
