I Am A Book Poem by Mohammad Younus

I Am A Book



Me—a book not for everybody to read!
May be some ancient covenant or some hymns,
Or a love affair between Yusuf and Zuleikha,
or the account of horrific afflictions of Mad Mansur,
But then I realize I am none of these,
(Only the author of my book knows me)
I only know from messengers one thing:
At an assembly of angels,
My author passed a resolution,
That I was to be his lord over all of them,
And with humility they must accept my authority,
And lay prostrate before me,
And my author wrote in longhand...
...all I have to do,
It has his stamp on it,
I am sorry I have never successfully opened my book,
It is preserved in my heart only for me to read,
When I learn to read my book, I will not have to worry about,
How my afterlife pleasant could be.
