In Every Breath, I Bow to Thee

In Every Breath, I Bow to Thee

With every breath, in every beat, I bow to Thee,
By faith and birth — a Muslim I shall be.
Yet by the mark of humankind’s embrace,
Thou madest man — creation’s noblest grace.

Thy prophets, Thy messengers — not divine,
But wise of heart, with reason’s shine.
And greater still than all decree,
Is human kindness — Thy will in me.

If ever I falter, O Lord, forgive,
For Thou art Mercy, that all may live.
Bind me always within Thy care,
To act in goodness, night and day, everywhere.
