Oh Blessed Presence Of God! Poem by Mohammad Younus

Oh blessed presence of God!
How mysteriously I am bound to you!
You strengthen my will to know you,
In your vast manifestation
And make dear to my heart,
Your wonderful creation;
The long hard wait to see you in person,
Now no longer do I need;
Because I see your blessed presence,
In your beautiful manifestation;
One step nearer I come to you,
Ten steps nearer do you come to me;
The more wonderfully and abundantly,
Your beauty as I see,
The more I hear from you:
'See me in My manifestation',
The more I am hopeful, by your blessing,
I will never lose to see your manifestation;
But in the depths of pure humility,
I beseech you O Lord, O Single Reality!
Never ever let me fall away from your presence;
For the deeper understanding of your reality,
I pray you to give me the divine eyes to see.
