I Can Never Simply Be Like You Poem by Mohammad Younus

I can never simply be like you,
Nor can I ever stand apart from you.
I cannot embody the image divine
Unless I walk hand-in-hand with the Divine.

I can never reveal all I've been shown,
Nor claim you've ever forsaken me.
I dare not say I've fallen from grace—
For this truth, I learned through you.

I am no stranger; I belong to you.
I cannot stand alone,
For I follow your will,
As I vowed on the Day of Alast.

I entered a covenant—
One you will never let me break.
Within your cosmic design,
All existence bows to the sacred bond.
Earth, the heavens, and all in between
Are bound by this eternal promise.

Through your eyes, I see all there is to see,
And through your love, I remain whole.
