LIRIKA: I Don't Exist Without You

I Don't Exist Without You



I don't exist without You.

There is no "I" but only You.

Easy to say – I wish I could

Realize and live it through.



So many curtains between us;

Curtains created by my nafs,

By society, illusions and generations

Of shirk, injustices and innovations.



I curse tyrants but terrorize my soul

Until there is no space for love

And I feel like I am an earthen jug

Empty of water, not to mention wine.



I'm lost, please, help me find the Way

Explore the spirit You put into a piece of clay.

First guide me through the gate of law

Followed by the gate of divine love



Then let me into awareness of Huu

Until I'm able to recognize the Truth

The truth that there is no god but You

And I don't exist without You.



Let me be loved by Your beloved

And strong enough to ignore the crowd

Allow me love those who love You

Without the fear of wicked evildoers



I know You pointed the path

To gain Your love, but not You wrath.

The path is sweltering like a midday heat

But there is Kawthar in the end of it.



Here I am with my brow on the earth

The clean earth I am made of

I return to myself so I return to You

Coz I don't exist without You.
