al-hamdu li'llah
Singer:sami yusuf
thy mercy encompasses us o lord
as life in the domain of death
as knowledge in the sea of ignorance
as the inebriating beauty of thy face
reflecting through earthly forms
in a world which without them
would suffocate of its own ugliness. how to thank thee
when the very breath that thanks thee
is vivified by thy ever-present mercy. for is not the very substance of existence
the breath of thy compassion manifested?
and is not the love which quickens life
a reflection of thy love for thine own theophany?
