You Made Me By Your Command: Be! Poem by Mohammad Younus

You made me by your command: Be! ...
and I was!
You desired to appoint me your khalifa...
on the earth...
So you breathed of your spirit into me
Did Iblis not know of this hidden secret?
Why did he not recognise my virtue?
Was it your will to make me a mystery to him?
How in a small body could infinity fit!
You made me the macrocosm, he did not know
Whatever is in the universe is in me
I try to put it in words but words fail me too
Don't look at my small body, I am not that
Look what has he blown iñto it
Then you will not dispute about my essential beiñg
Vast, boundless, spaceless, timeless! ! !
