May God Bless You Poem by Sari Mavi

O my friend, I am not a Sufi
I still like to berate, curse, or even
Think that I'm better than you

I just acted like a Sufi
Give advice to many people
But can not advise myself

(I should be ashamed)
Many wise words that I have spread, and
What's happening is still lying to myself

I'm still reluctant to be separated from a very high ego
My mind is so trivial about the afterlife
Worldly matters make it hard for me to remember

Even now I am not a Sufi who can give up worldly passions
For the sake of a better afterlife

I still often fellowship with the ego;
Instead of listening to my old soul says:

"See you have the power of thought and knowledge, you can use
both as a means of self-improvement"

I always seek to change my existing and morals to be better
than yesterday without having to live like a Sufi

Yeah my dear friend, this is my personal affair, between me and my Lord;
I will not involve you in it

Enough of you to remind me of what is the purpose of my life?
May god bless you
