Am I Not Your Lord

Allah is in the meadow; let nature rejoice Am I not your Lord? Yes, we give witness to it. He moves down the mountain in tumbling clear, fresh streams Am I not your Lord? Yes, we give witness to it. He delights in His Creation’s joy—the fish jumps Am I not your Lord? Yes, we give witness to it. The clear dark night reveals His sign of twinkling lights Am I not your Lord? Yes, we give witness to it. He Creates paths on the spread out earth back to Him Am I not your Lord? Yes, we give witness to it. “We worship Thee! …the garden’s prayer in wintertime.” Am I not your Lord? Yes, we give witness to it. The tree has produced plenteous fruit, dripping juice Am I not your Lord? Yes, we give witness to it. The encased soul sings Your Praise day and night O Lord Am I not your Lord? Yes, we give witness to it. All Creation proclaims His Glory, Alhamdulillah! Am I not your Lord? Yes, we give witness to it.

Thank you! I used the a Christian medieval poetry form for this poem - the Chant. I also have a Psalm written based upon the Qur'an - will post soon.
