To be with you is to have

 No separate identity.

 I willingly subsume myself,

 Disappear into your singularity.

To be one with the One

 Is every sufi's dream.

 The miracle is to see

 You in the Spirit Unseen.

Return me to myself

 When you have done with me.

 All that will remain then will be

 Your memory, and this poetry.
