In Bustling Markets And In Serene... Poem by Mohammad Younus

In bustling markets and in serene...
...monasteries alike, I observe...
...only the presence of God.
In the depths of valleys and...
...the mesmerizing awe of mountains, ...
...I witness only the manifestation of God.
In CEO's office, and in subordinate position, ...
...I see only the presence of God.

In the crucible of trials and tribulations...
...I find solace in His presence before me.
And in the embrace of fortune, I see...
...His grace is imminently to be seen.
Through His whispered guidance, and...
...constant call to His presence...
...and through the teachings of the Prophet...
...I see Him as the true essence of all things.

No soul, form, cause, or effect remains,
Only His radiant presence in every aspect.
His beauty envelops me in every sight,
His boundless glory day and night before me.

Like snow melting into the sun's embrace,
I dissolve in His consuming fire of love.
In self-reflection, His pure vision guides me,
And I recognize only God's eternal presence.

I merge into His love, my separate identity fades.
Yet, in the ecstasy of soul and heart, I realise...
...that truly the All-Light is my essence.
In every breath, every heartbeat, I remember...
....that God is the Only undeniable reality.
