All Authority Is Subject To My Lord Poem by Rahman Baba

What a marvelous creator is my Lord:
All authority is subject to my Lord

All the holy ones of old you may recall,
Unsurpassed in excellence is still my Lord

نه يې هيڅ حاجت په چا باندې موقوف دى
نه د هيچا منت بار دى رب زما

Nothing does He need or want from anyone,
Seeking favours none should reckon with my Lord

Out of nothing He created everything,
He sustains and nourishes it all, my Lord

Like an artist He perfectly formed all things,
Yet he harks to all the man would speak, My Lord

Of the unimagined in this time and space
Very essence, very fragrance is my Lord

Of all structures in this world and in the next
Peerless architect and builder is my Lord

All the pages not yet written, He has read,
Perfect knowledge of all secrets has my Lord

Be it hidden, manifest or half obscured,
Cognizant of any matter is my Lord

No one is a partner in His government,
As an absolute dictator reigns my Lord

List his oneness be considered poverty:
In His unity abundant is my Lord

Fellowship with anyone they do not need,
Who have found a lasting friendship with my Lord

Why should I go anywhere in search of Him?
Right beside me in my cottage is my Lord

He is never liable to change, RAHMAN,
In eternity remains unchanged my Lord
