Eternal Presence: Inspiration: Ayatul Kursi (The verse of Throne)

Inspiration: Quran: 2: 254: (The verse of Throne)

World stops at the thought of Your infinite glory
Like breath get arrested in a lover’s chest
At the sight of beloved’s face when it strikes the eye
When Eternal splendor finitely peeps
A sigh is let out from the deep
A cry of a mortal is heard
The created world
Ponders over Uncreated Word
The Great Utterer!
O the Great Utterer!
Who else but You we venerate
The One who is eternally awake
Permanence of Grace
Everlastingly living
Always giving
Always at watch
And slumbers not
All belong to Your domain
What heavens hold - what earth contain
Yours is the will, Yours is the say
From your Grace all originates
All mortal faculties are Your Grace
No one can mediate in the affairs you conduct
No one can intercede in the matters you deal
You are the One who knows the one before
You know what comes when all is done
Incomprehensible: who can fathom You?
Who can know all that comprises in You?
Who can encompass the truth of it all?
Mortal faculties are in finite realm
But only if You will choose to empower
Without Your Will nothing comes to pass
Your office extends over heavens and earth
Your sovereign scope’s beyond Infinite realms
You guard and watch, and nurture and sustain
Unceasingly tend this infinite domain
Nor sleep catches you, nor fatigue exhausts
You administer it all and it tires You not
O the One Supreme - Exalted above all!
