Man's Nativity Poem by Mohammad Younus

Man is of heavenly essence as a matter of fact,
After his nativity in the paradise above,
He was cast upon the earth below,
His earthen body is but a pall over his soul,
That lord blew of his pure spirit into him,
When he first fashioned him into a man,
Thus man's soul has got the purest origin,
Why call this base, and call that pure?
The same sun shines in the dewdrop as is in the sky —
Note, how mystically in him the earth and the empyrean meet.
