Tell Me O Formless One Poem by Mohammad Younus

Tell me, O Formless One,
how can I receive and embrace You?
In the silent hours of long, cold nights,
I stand gazing at You in darkness, eyes closed,
believing there is none but You before me.

O Formless One,
You have stolen my heart;
I feel You dwell within it.
I know You see me in genuflection and prostration,
remembering only You.

O Formless One,
in any physical form or body, I neither see nor conceive You.
In dust, I let all false deities fall away,
from dust they are, and to dust they go.

O Formless One,
with my mind, heart, and soul, I love Your Light Eternal.
May I stay awakened and enlightened forever,
in Your presence all around me.

O Formless One,
I have no illusions about Your oneness.
You are pleased to see Your sincere lover not roaming aimlessly,
walking on many roads and through unknown valleys,
to find You existing separate from all things and me.

O Formless One,
come and whisper Your sacred words of love
into the ear of my heart.
Only the holy water of Your word can wash away the impurity of duality,
wipe off the hypocrisy that still exists in the folds of my mind.

O Formless One,
please don't deny me Your light upon light.
Keep me hearing Your holy words constantly.
Burn, burn all the jungles of duality and hypocrisy
that have grown in my mind,
with the Fire of Your Purity and Unity.
