AL-HAMDU LI’LLAH LYRICS

By: Sami Yusuf & Seyyed Hossein Nasr



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, O Lord,

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?
