Me, Who knows who I am?
Nor am I muslim in a mosque
Nor am I in a pagan's ritual practice
Nor am the pure in the impure
Nor am I in vedic books
Nor am I in opium/alcohol/drugs
Nor am I in the carefree deviant
Nor am I wedding unions nor grief in funerals
Nor am I in the impure/pure
Nor am I of the water nor of the land
Nor am I fire nor air
Me, who knows who I am
Nor am I Arabic nor from Lahore
Nor am I the Indian city of Nagaur
Nor am I Hindu nor a Peshawari turk
Nor did I create the difference of faith
Nor am I born from Adam and Eve
Nor did I give a name to myself
From beginning to end I know you
Never recognized another as more
There’s no one wiser than I
Anish Patel, who is this man standing here?
Me, who knows who I am?
I am not Moses nor pharoah
I am not in Wakefulness or sleep
I am neither fire nor wind
I am not situated in ignorance/innocence
Neither am I sitting (idle) or in storm
Anish Patel, who is this man standing?
Me, who knows who I am?
(Translated from a famous Sufi Poem..."Bulla ki Jaana"
