Myself Beside Me Poem by Mohammad Younus

O God,
You decided I should be happy,
I went into my orchestra,
And found myself hearing the divinely music,
Giving out the sound of hu, hu
O God,
You decided I should sleep,
I slept and had an amazing dream,
I found myself in King's robes,
when I woke up,
I found myself quite naked,
And began to hide my shame
O God,
You decided I should wake up
I woke up and found myself nothing,
Empty of myself and empty of all things
O God,
You decided I should stand up -
between awareness and sleep,
I stood up and found myself standing -before a mirror,
And I found myself in and out of mirror
O God,
I seek you in me, and all things
Not through my efforts, but through my love
