The Flute Is Ringing So Near Poem by Mohammad Younus

The flute is ringing so near
More near than the thought
The flute is ringing in the heart
It is God's endless melody:
A song of bliss and unity
Heard by people infinitely
Who keep the pledge to Lord
The pledge made in eternity
Unbrokenly they say Balā
Yes! Yes! Yes!
To God's endless question:
Am I not your Lord?
The melody dissolves 'I'
Absolutely! In the vast ocean!
Like a candy in the hot water

Once 'I' was here,
but now 'I' is not:
If there's really an 'I, '
'I' could only be 'you'

In the way of love
Losing to the beloved
Nothing is left
Neither body nor soul
What remains is only 'you'

'You' encompass 'I'
'You' cloak 'I'
You permeate 'I'
Surely, there is
No duality
If 'I' have the ear to hear
If 'I' have the eyes to see
Without question
'I' could only be 'you'
No other ear can hear you
No other eyes can see you
