A MAN CALLED ADAM CREATED

A MAN CALLED ADAM CREATED
Yusuf Aslan

The creator created a man called Adam from sixty different soils
From a being that is like a volcano
He created a devil even from fires

He did not fall behind the Light of Knowledge
Intelligence, knowledge, were not darkened from the Light
Man of the same color was not created
He created from servants of different kinds

He created creatures even from noble ones
From cats, dogs, cattle
He created not just humans but from different generations
He created insects and animals

He sent down books, read them, says Alak
He was made absolutely intelligent with three objects
While creating this universe, the Almighty God
He created from light, like His own light

I met three beautiful friends first
At home, on the road, one with me, God willing
A god who will be honored with every praise
He said Yusuf the poet and created me
