I Can't Teach You Anything Poem by Mohammad Younus

I can't teach you anything,
What can I teach?
We live only once,
We can't retrace our steps back,
If we get a second life,
Only then I could teach you,
What I learnt in this life,
I don't know,
When I was first created,
Was I only a soul,
Or soul and body both,
Where did the soul come from
I don't know,
Why I was forbidden,
To come near to that tree,
Why did not God forgive me,
If it was my first sin,
Why was I rather thrown out,
Along with my mate,
I don't know,
If it was a punishment or a reward,
Or it happened as per God's pre plan,
I don't know,
What is a superstition,
And what is a sound belief,
I don't know,
If a person chooses his destiny,
Or if he writes his own destiny,
I don't know,
Where a man before resurrection will be,
Or he'll be reincarnated into another body.
I don't know,
If I'm the other or the other is I,
I don't know,
If it is I who move in time,
Or if it is time which moves in me,
Only a person of knowledge and wisdom -
Khidar -can bring me out,
From delusion to awareness;
From ignorance to knowledge true;
And from confusion to fusion with reality
