parvardigar

pete townshend

o parvardigar

the preserver and protector of all

without beginning are you lord without end

non-dual

beyond compare

and none can measure you

without color

expression

or form

nor attributes to live

you are unlimited and unfathomable

imperishable beyond conception by our minds

no one can defy you

oh god you are eternal

none can see you but with eyes divine

you always were

you always are

and always will be

you are everywhere

in everything and beyond

in the firmament above and in the deep

on all the seven planes and farther on

and in all that's hidden to our eyes and always see

beyond the trinity of words and in the vow

you can not be perceived or no one shall repent

o parvardigar preserve protect us all

without begging are you lord without end

you always were

you always are

and always will be

you are the creator

the lord of lords

the knower of all minds and hearts

omnipotent

omnipresent

from you we cower

you are knowledge

infinite bliss

infinite power

you are the ocean of knowledge knowing all

infinitely knowing

but cannot tell

the knower of the past

the present and future

crowning even this

your knowledge itself

oh merciful benevolent eternal

you're the trinity of knowledge

truth and bliss

you are the source of truth

the one with infinite attributes

you are the ocean of love we sorely miss

you always were

you always are

and always will be

you are the ancient one

the highest of the high

you are prabhu and parameshwar

you are the beyond god

beyond-beyond god also

parabrahma; paramatma and allah

yezdan; ahuramazda and god the beloved

o parvardigar

the preserver and protector of all

without beginning are you lord without end

you are named ezad

the only one worthy of worship

we sing the universal prayer to you amen
