(i)
I'm not from the East or the West
I am not a Christian or a Jew or a Muslim
I'm not Hindu and Buddhist, not Sufi and Zen
I do not belong to any particular religious or cultural denomination
I belong neither to the body nor to the soul
For I belong to the divine soul of my beloved
I am not from the East or the West.
I am not Christian or Jew or Muslim.
I am not Hindu ,Buddhist , Sufi, or Zen.
I do not belong to any established religion or any cultural system.
I am neither the body nor the soul, for I belong to Divine Soul of my Beloved.
