Standing beneath the canopy spread around and above,
I bend and bow in all humility to my Creator Lord --
The One God -- call Him Allah or Ishwar, Jehovah or whatever,
He is without doubt the King of all dimensions and worlds
And it affects Him not an iota whether we believe in Him or not
He is as He has always been IS, beyond our limited comprehension
His greatness remains unquestionably unrivalled.
Myths and stories do not survive and fade away to be forgotten
In the pages of time's revolving orbits.
But God is God and there is no other greater Truth than He...
Call Him what we like, it is our choice.
We have been given minds and imaginations to admire and praise Him
As His are the most beautiful names ever imaginable
Just looking up at the starry glory of jewelled and perfectly arranged
Models of diamond like luminosity
It becomes simple to acknowledge the fundamental fact
That the unparalleled beauty and wonders of all the cosmos
Cannot be a matter of just chance and collisions
Explosions and fantasies of sci-fi ideologies
And the mind that is logical accepts the Creator
And reaffirms the hymn sung by the silence of space
That there is no god but the One True Lord of all worlds
He is known as God, Allah, Ishwar and Jehovah
But the wisdom beneath the beauty of His Supremacy
Happens to be His unique Oneness.
I am marvelled and bow my whole self in total submissiveness
To the glory that unveils His invisible presence
To the heart that shines with His divine Light.
I am nothing, Allah is Everything.
I am mortal and He is Immortal
So I worship Him with all my heart
And love Him above one and all
Around me, within me and above me.
No doubt -- so my soul proclaims:
There is no god but God:
Call Him Allah, God, Ishwar, Jehovah
Or any other beautiful name you like
He is the self-subsisting and everlasting
Closer to us than our jugular veins
Yet, how oblivious are some of us,
To His most loving Presence
Living in us and proving the truth
That there is no god but He
The One to whom belongs all praise
And the One to whom everything created
Bows and submits, one time or the other,
Willingly or unwillingly.
The secrets of the skies are open like a book
And can be read by those who are keen
To live and grow in His most loving presence.
