Light Prayer of Muhammad
O God, grant me Light in my heart,
Light in my grave,Light in front of me,
Light behind me,Light to my right,
Light to my left,Light above me,
Light below me,Light in my ears,
Light in my eyes,Light on my skin,
Light in my hair,Light within my flesh,
Light in my blood, Light in my bones.
O God, Increase my Light everywhere.
O God, Grant me Light in my heart,
Light on my tongue, Light in my eyes,
Light in my ears,Light to my right,
Light to my left,Light above me,
Light below me,Light in front of me,
Light behind me,
And Light within my self; increase my Light.
It is you Whom you are looking for.......
What is to be done, O Moslems? for I do not recognize myself.
I am neither Christian, nor Jew, nor Gabr, nor Moslem.
I am not of the East, nor of the West, nor of the land, nor of the sea;
I am not of Nature's mint, nor of the circling' heaven.
I am not of earth, nor of water, nor of air, nor of fire;
I am not of the empyrean, nor of the dust, nor of existence, nor of entity.
I am not of India, nor of China, nor of Bulgaria, nor of Saqsin
I am not of the kingdom of 'Iraqian, nor of the country of Khorasan
I am not of the this world, nor of the next, nor of Paradise, nor of Hell
I am not of Adam, nor of Eve, nor of Eden and Rizwan.
My place is the Placeless, my trace is the Traceless ;
'Tis neither body nor soul, for I belong to the soul of the Beloved.
I have put duality away, I have seen that the two worlds are one;
One I seek, One I know J One I see, One I call.
He is the first, He is the last, He is the outward, He is the inward;
I know none other except 'Ya Hu' and 'Ya man Hu.'
I am intoxicated with Love's cup, the two worlds have passed out of my ken ;
I have no business save carouse and revelry.
If once in my life I spent a moment without thee,
From that time and from that hour I repent of my life.
If once in this world I win a moment with thee,
I will trample on both worlds, I will dance in triumph for ever.
I am so drunken in this world,
That except of drunkenness and revelry I have no tale to tell.
When the curtain of illusion fell there was only One, no one but Allah......................
