Man Is Of Heavenly Essence In Fact Poem by Mohammad Younus

Man is of heavenly essence in fact
After his nativity in the paradise above,
He was cast upon the earth below,
His earthen body is but a pall over his soul,
That lord blew of his pure spirit into him,
When he first fashioned him into a man,
Thus man's soul has got the purest origin,
Why call this base, and call that pure?
The same sun shines in the dewdrop as is in the sky —
Note, how mystically in him the earth and the empyrean meet.
