What Love, Lover, And The Beloved Is? Poem by Mohammad Younus

What love, lover, and the beloved is?
Within the heart of a lover it is to be found -
It isn't to be found anywhere outside;
When I separate the wheat from the chaff;
I perceive it in my soul,
Where the divine word sounds all the while;
That is where the wise masters guide us to;
Blessed with the seeing eye and the hearing ear,
I became a true lover,
Through God's blessing I see,
One reality is the core of everything,
The absolute oneness pervades everything!
Who the owner is and who the tenant,
Who the master is and who the servant,
That is the hidden secret!
I say to my inner self:
Brag not that you are the hidden secret,
My beloved God got pleased with me,
For guarding his secret and keeping that hidden,
He showered on me the golden dust of his light;
And resonated by his command his word in me,
There I witnessed an open sign,
That revealed to me my true essence...
...the proof that I am of the divine,
There is none but He!
What a human being is in his essence,
That is the hidden secret.
