Think Of Your Essence True Poem by Mohammad Younus

O lover, if you wish to sit face to face with your beloved...
...Come, kick off this world with an ungracious rebuff;
Spurious, the world is spurious - do not opt to stay for a while here;
Quit this inauspicious world, and run away to your beloved's home;
If with your beloved face to face you desire to stay...
...then you aught to reject both the worlds without delay,
Worldly loss and profit should not deter you...
...from following the path of love and obedience!
If you're not a devil, know the command of Allah...
...and bow, like angels, to the essence of man;
Recollect how God blew of his spirit into man (Adam) ;
Think of Adam's essence, origin and give praise!
You will realise the truth and say:
'I am from his command 'Be', he created me...
...to love himself through me; '
The prophet in a Hadees e Qudsie quotes God as saying:
' I was a hidden treasure, and I wished to be known...
...so I created a creation (Humanity) ;
Then, I made Myself known to them...
...and they recognised Me.'
