That thee see around
Mountain tops, snow covered,
The sun shining above,
Below the numerous stars,
The vast oceans and seas
Stretching miles away
Galaxies of stars,
Millions and trillions
Multi-colour birds
Soaring high in the sky
Making nest in the trees
Singing melodious notes
Multi-colour flowers
Growing in the gardens,
And the delicious fruits
Of varied tastes
Doesn’t it indicate
The existence of God,
His omnipresence, omnipotence
And His omniscience
An indomitable power
That thee can’t conquer
Save thou turn worshippers,
Seek His pleasure,
Follow His messenger
Be a peace harbinger,
Here and hereafter…
