They Say You Have Got Many Names Poem by Mohammad Younus

They Say You Have Got Many Names



They say you have got many names,
With any name, and in any language...
... we can, my dear, call you,
But for me you are the nameless reality,
O' the nameless eternal truth!
I have heard your innumerable names,
But no name describes your total truth,
No name encompasses fully...
...your being, attributes, or actions,
Tell me please, O' Eternal Truth!
What golden name tag I must put on you!
What a prison the name is...
...for him who is indefineable!
Tell me, by what name I must call you...
...to content and please my heart,
I have lost you because I did not know...
...your name and your home,
Where do you live? Where do you come from?
O' my sweet dear!
You are the radiant sun of my dark home,
Illumining my home with your immense light,
Of your spirit you blew into me...
and so you speak through me,
I am today feeling myself in intimate ecstasy,
A sea of happiness surges up in me, ...
that today I call you by my own name,
and declare that I am your home,
Who is there to stop my voice?
I must speak that much of truth...
...as much as I know,
I came from you, so I must say: I am the truth.
