~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh I love you, Allah

Like the earth loves the sun

Like the moon loves the earth

Like the sea loves the moon

And I love you, Allah

Like the mountains love the sky

Like the eagle loves to fly

Like the horses love to run

[Chorus:]

Oh Allah, subhanahu wa ta’ala

Oh Allah!

Oh Allah, subhanahu wa ta’ala

Oh Allah!

All my praises are for you, oh Allah

My Allah!

Oh Allah, subhanahu wa ta’ala

Oh Allah!

And I hope in you, Allah

Like the winter hopes for spring

Like the desert hopes for rain

Like the seed hopes to grow

And I hope in you, Allah

Like the unborn hopes for birth

Like the old one hopes for peace

Like the young ones hope to know

[Chorus]

So I turn to you, Allah

For my life and my breath

For my end and my death

For the life that is to come

And I turn to you, Allah

For your wisdom and your strength

For your guidance and your grace

For your mercy and your love

            [Chorus]
