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.
