I Long To Come Closer To You Poem by Mohammad Younus

I long to come closer to you,
I'm drunk with love for you,
Alas, I am mistaken:
You are nearer to me than my jugular vein;

You are neither closer nor distant from me,
For I am in You, as is a drop of water in the ocean;
Where does your voice not send its sound?
Very few but know Your word's resonance;

You are veiled and unveiled both,
No eye canst see you, you seest through the eyes,
Even the soul isn't ready to unveil itself,
But appears dressed in its own tones;

I know you are dressed in your own indefinable light,
Before your enormous but soft light -
When that shines on my face,
I have no reason to remain afflicted,
I must dance with rhythm in ecstasy;

You are the glory and the sole reality,
That I witness through my heart's eyes,
Manifest in all thingsto lover's eyes;
But, how canst I disclose your secrets!
That might create disorder in some circles.
