“Al-Hamdu Li'llah (Sh Nasr)” by Sami Yusuf is the third track on his ninth album “Songs of the Way, Vol. 1” (1 January 2015), released by Andante Records. The track consists of an English poem written and read by Seyyed Hossein Nasr accompanied by music.
[Verse 1: Sh 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?
