THE UNCREATED.

(Arabic.)

Where, Allah, shall I find thee?”
And answered all around:
“Know that when thou hast sought Him
Thou hast already found.”
“How knoweth thou Allah liveth?”
They asked a Bedouin;
“What! Does this dawn need torchlight
In order to be seen?”
Ascend the highest Heaven,
Still Allah is above;

16

Not reached, but comprehended
By his eternal Love.
Words that are worthy of Him
Have never yet been heard.
Let us adore in silence
The Uncreated Word.
