An-Nur (The Light). Oil on canvas, by Hafeez

By Bruncha "Sakeena" Milaszewski

In the vastness of eternity, in all its great expanse, Only one reality knew its purpose… Ya Khabir, Ya Allah

In the darkness of the void, depth upon depth,
Only one reality brought forth light…
Ya Nur, Ya Allah

continued-below-300.gif
In the monotony of endless nothing, Only one reality had life… Ya Hayy, Ya Allah

In the beginning, before all else,
Only One reality was the beginning…
Ya Awwal, Ya Allah

In the dawn of the universe,
Only one reality compassed love…
Ya Wadood, Ya Allah

In the ever present now,
Only One is the Ultimate Reality…
Ya Haqq, Y a Allah

Sakeena is an American expat living in the UAE
