I Am Not A Child Of My Own Thought! Poem by Mohammad Younus

I am not a child of my own thought!
I think myself to be a dependent being!
Cause I feel that I am nothing!
God is the be-all and end-all of my being!
I am like a grass growing spontaneously...
...by the absolute command of God...
...not of my own accord!
So all I need do is to submit my will to...
...the supreme command!
And I must cast myself into a being...
...burning with the flame of His Love!
His presence though invisible to my Head's eyes...
...yet my heart, my sole, my mind...
... feel His presence all around!
I hear a mysterious calling:
I am the undivided and the indivisible being!
You are not at all cut off from me!

I am His devout servant!
Once a servant, my Lord tells me...
...always a servant you must be,
Yet in me I can't see it always:
And so the lost servanthood...
...I'm weeping for!
God! restore me please the position of...
...a loyal, dutiful, and devout servant!
A master can never stoop so low...
...as to be a servant!
A servant can never elevate himself so high...
...as to be the master! ! !
