Allāh the Exalted. Devotion (Urdu Poem). What was ours. Is now wholly of the Beloved. . As of today, we belong to the Beloved;. And the Beloved belongs to us. . God be thanked, I have found. That matchless gem;. It matters not if the heart. Of the people has turned to stone? 183 [Izāla-e-Auhām, Rūḥānī Khazā'in Vol. 3, p. 458]. Holy is He Who Watches over me (Urdu Poem). Worship and praise belong to Him Who is Everlasting;. He has not equal or His like. . He alone endures, all else is but perishable;. To love others is only an idle tale. . All are others,. He alone is the darling of my heart;. The only cry of my heart: 'Holy is He Who watches over me'. . Holy is His Divine might,. Grandeur is His alone;. Those close to Him stand atremble,. And angels are awe-stricken. . His Mercy is all-pervasive;. How can one be grateful enough?. We are all His creation;. Love Him we must. . To love others is contrary to His Pride. Blessed be this day;. Holy is He Who watches over me.
