On The Face Of Man Poem by Mohammad Younus

On the face of Man,
God has written Bismillah;
See me in this mirror,
O you who have eyes;
Because I have made him
In my image,
To be the noblest of all creatures;
Man! fulfil your covenant,
With your lord on the Day of Alast;
And try to prove yourself,
As His true vice-regent;
So that the angels today also,
Fall in prostration before you;
Break yourself out,
Of the cage of mud and water;
Know in yourself,
The presence of the Real;
Who brought you by His command,
From non-existence to existence;
I swear on the honour of the Real,
Who gave to Man,
of His wisdom and knowledge,
Before He manifested himself,
In the things of the world and humans;
Even then - Allah - existed,
As the only reality;
Think not like a blockhead,
That this beautiful manifestation...
...just happened without any command.
