Man Must Indeed Be What God Wanted Him To Be Poem by Mohammad Younus

Man must indeed be what God wanted him to be,
in this vast world, as per His master plan;
The same wanderer sent to the world by Him
from paradise to discover His divinity within.
To know the divine attributes invested
in him by God,
he must struggle and strive to be what God
wanted him to be—the caliph of God!

O Lord, You created man in Your image;
You alone are the Truth of man!
It is an irrefutable reality—You are our Originator.
My heart knows, God, You are my reality;
You alone I worship! You alone I love!
I take refuge in You, my God,
from the world and from my vile nafs.

For what I should be, I cannot be,
if I do not turn my back on worldly
charms and fascinations.
Only God is perfect, without flaw!
When God created us human beings,
it was as if He said: 'Be what I want you to be,
for what I want is that you must hear my call.'
