The Good News Poem by Mohammad Younus

THEGOODNEWS

On either side of the veil
One Light shines in truth
The veil hanging between
The principal and the agent
The veil hanging between
The master and the servant
The veil hanging between
The king and His viceroy
The veil obscures the truth
Remove this veil my lord!
And finish my dilemmas -
I am the lover, You are the beloved;
You are the lover, I am the beloved
Confusion! Confusion! Confusion!
If I and you are essentially one,
Then tell me, my lord!
What is this longing?
What is this lamentation?
What is this searching?
The voice thunderous came
There exists not other Me
Qul Huwallahu Ahad -
Say He is one, and unique,
All your dilemmas shall go
Elevate yourself to the heavens high
Meet the angels and sing in chorus
"Oh One! I feel guilty
When I utter I and You"
In all His manifestations I see You
Leave off your body and soul
Do not look at the enticing whores
The good news shall greet you:
You are nothing; you are everything!
God's light is reflected in you
Lā ilāha ilā Hū! Hū! Hū! Hū!
There is no deity but He
