I. The Call of the Lord
The Lord:
O people!
With your own hands,
you carve upon stone
the shadows of your deeds.
The true work was one:
"Indeed, in the remembrance of Allah,
hearts find peace."
But you abandoned My name.
I am needless. It matters not.
Only you are lost,
drowning in the darkness of neglect.
I am He, Hū.
I am He.
The Lord:
You are in need of Me;
I am not in need of you.
My name has lived from eternity,
and My call is its own guardian.
When I place that call within your heart,
it will unveil itself
across earth and heaven—
I am He, Hū.
I am He.

II. The Question
The Servant:
O Lord,
this melody exceeds all intellect.
But the Lord was silent.
The question burned upon the servant's lips:
"What is absolute unity? "
Narrator's Voice:
The answer—was silence.
And silence itself became the answer.
The Lord:
This is the station
where servant and Lord become one.
Its beauty is veiled,
its secret speaks while hidden.
I am He, Hū.
I am He.

III. The Tale of Eden
Narrator's Voice:
Then the tale of Eden grew clear:
A being of luminous light,
shattered by the poison of pride.
Darkness fell among the brilliance—
Yet the seed of unity awakened.
Sleep was broken.
Insight opened,
and vision revealed
what words cannot utter,
what melodies cannot bear.
I am He, Hū.
I am He.

IV. The Realization
Narrator's Voice:
The servant was emptied of questions,
and he knew:
The Servant (Whispering) :
Emptiness is the Answer.
Emptiness is the Light.
Emptiness is the Path.
Emptiness is the Destination.
Narrator's Voice:
And the name of that Essence—
a name the intellect cannot bind,
a name beyond all words—
It is wonder.
It is the whisper of Divinity.
It is the rain of melody
upon the strings of the heart.
Where the secret of man and Lord
meets at a single point.
I am He, Hū.
I am He.

V. The Sufi Way
The Lord:
"Al-Insānu sirrī wa anā sirruhu —
Man is My secret, and I am his secret."
Narrator's Voice:
This is the way of the Sufi:
A symphony of silence.
A silence woven in symphony.
Beauty behind the veil.
A voice concealed within beauty.
I am He, Hū.
I am He.
I am He.
