Ji Wêjeyê

I tried to find Him on the Christian cross, but He was not there;

I went to the temple of the Hindus and to the old pagodas,

but I could not find a trace of Him anywhere…

I searched on the mountains and in the valleys

but neither in the heights nor in the depths was I able to find Him.

I went to the Ka’bah in Mecca, but He was not there either…

I questioned the scholars and philosophers but He was beyond their understanding…

Then I looked into my heart and it was there

where He dwelled that I saw Him,

He was nowhere else to be found
