You wished Abraham to be thrown into NimrudвЂ™s Fire, With the lighting of manifestation, you reduced the mount to ashes. The one that longed to have your sight on the Mount Sinai, You made that prophet adorn the crucifix. Sometimes you turn a pebble into a diamond, I donвЂ™t know for which crime of desire you punish us. You have turned the world into a spectacle.ДЇor your own recognition, you created all,Д«ut you hid yourself from the sight of everyone.Д®very day you draw a new picture and you erase it, Please tell me the purpose of all this complexity.ДЄdam had committed the crime and you punish his sons, This is bad, That is good, This is hell, That is Heaven, You still preached about home, kith and kin. Yet you have also made the plan of its destruction You have spread the net of fate everywhere. You allow the bird of plannings to fly but, On top of that, you also put the guard of death on it. You made the soul the prisoner in the cage of body, Since the beginning of time what is this game you have created and playing I do not understand what all this story is, It has drawn a very confusing picture on it. My heart is coloured with a strange astonishment, You dont tell us because, you are faithless.

If he can be limited within the circle of intellect then how can he be infinite? If grasped then an Idol but if cannot grasped then you are God.

I am astonished about the matter of who you are, what you are, Then how did I understand that you are God. The denial itself is a sign of your existence.

You could not be found in a temple or kabah, Only that lost person has found something. These places are resplendent because of your light. Then I cannot understand why you veil yourself You could not be found when searched or even unsearched you couldnвЂ™t be found,Д«ut the fun is that where we are, there you are I searched for you in temples and mosques but I could not find you, In every atom speck with what splendor, you are present,Д«ut intelligence is bewildered as to what you look like and what are you. You are not present yet you are everywhere Us poor people have been ruined and erased But, To have a glimpse of you I travelled everywhere.
