Allah: Al-Ahad¹ And As-Samad² Poem by Mohammad Younus

You sre both inside and outside!
You are both on upside and on downside!
You are both on front side and on back side!
You are both on the right side and on the left side!
You are everywhere, on all sides!
The limitless space cannot contain you!
The unbound time cannot bind you!
You are beyond space and beyond time!
When a person is taken ill, you are!
When a sick person feels better, you are!
When a person feels happy, you are!
The source and cause of his ecstasy, you are!
When a person is overcome by melancholy, you are!
He who makes him terribly shriek and scream, you are!
When a person is beset with bone breaking problems, you are!
He whom he approaches in his prayers for help, you are!
When we knock on a stranger's door, you are!
There to welcome us and redress our woes, you are!
When nobody is round to answer our supplications, you are!
He who loudly says: call upon me, I'll answer you, you are!
You are walking with every wayfarer who walks to you!
You are the way, the guide on the way, and the destination!
None can guide us to you - your knowledge and wisdom - except you!
He who is manifest from all the things that He has created, you are!
He who does not put up in any form, you are!
In this world of differentiation, everything glorifies your oneness!
The open proof of your sole and whole existence
- your oneness - you are!
Sorry, the ignorant, unaware, and unenlightened persons wrongly claim...
...you are the one who is to be searched and discovered!
The one who gives his own evidence to Himself...
...through His creation, you are!
Inside the soul's great music, and pleasure, you are!
In the vicious circle of life and existence, you are!
The living, everlasting, and self sustaining, you are!
Nothing exists except you!
Who is then the servant and who is the master!
Some see you in duality!
Some see you in multiplicity!
Some see you as the absolute oneness!
Only you reveal your hidden secret to your friends!
He who speaks the truth on every tongue, you are!
You are the mystery that no one can unfold!

Eyes see, ears hear, hearts perceive your oneness!
You are sight, hearing, and perception!
How can anybody know your secret by himself!
Qalab, Qalib, Ruh: you are the reality of all the three!
It is absurd to ask for your sight though,
You are behind our asking, and behind our love!
You are The Wonder of Your Own Wonders!
How can we know you?

1. Allah is Al-Ahad. He is incomparable, unequalled, and indivisible. Al-Ahad is the One who was, is, and will ever remain alone.

2. Allah is As-Samad, He is the one whom refuge is sought in times of adversity. He is eternal and satisfies every need as it should be satisfied.
