only God I saw...

In the market, in the cloister--only God I saw

  In the valley and on the mountain--only God I saw.

  Him I have seen beside me oft in tribulation;

  In favour and in fortune--only God I saw.

  In prayer and fasting, in praise and contemplation,

  In the religion of the Prophet--only God I saw.

  Neither soul nor body, accident nor substance,

  Qualities nor causes--only God I saw.

  I oped mine eyes and by the light of His face around me

  In all the eye discovered--only God I saw.

  Like a candle I was melting in His fire:

  Amidst the flames outflashing--only God I saw.

  Myself with mine own eyes I saw most clearly,

  But when I looked with God's eyes--only God I saw.

  I passed away into nothingness, I vanished,

  And lo, I was the All-living--only God I saw. Baba Kuhi
