How Do I Know Who I Am? Poem by Mawlana AbulMaani Mirza AbdulQadir Bedil

How do I know who I am?
How do I write what is in my heart?
Dawn turns to twilight and I still struggle
Who can show me the truth?
I will be in heaven the moment I know
What I write cannot justify what I feel
I am humbled by my imperfection

We want to know why we are here
We want to know the answer to creation
We want to know the meaning of existence
We all seek the truth
We all take different approaches to answer our queries; we all use different tools to experience life and its purpose
