My Senses

I watch the sun as it rises from the sea
O, thank you Allah, for blessing me
Thank you, my Lord, for giving me sight
With awe, I praise You, Your Glory, Your Might

I smell sweet aromas, the flowers, the rain
I thank You, Allah, again and again
Thank You, my Lord, for my sense of smell
Your Mercies, Your Bounties, I know so well

I hear birds chirping, sounds near and far,
I thank You, most Loving, most Gracious Allah
Thank You, my Lord, for making me hear
Your Power, Your Majesty, I shall always fear

I eat fresh fruit, some honey, a date
O, thank You, Allah, for my sense of taste
Thank You, my Lord, for the gifts You’ve given me
I am grateful to You, my Creator, eternally

I touch a rosebud, so perfect, so lovely
O, thank You, Allah, I pray gratefully
Thank You, my Lord, for my sense of touch
I am indebted to You, my Creator, for so much

What would I do, if I lost every sense?
I’d be in a black hole, in a thick cloud so dense
My Gracious Allah, You have been so kind to me
I can touch, and taste, hear, and smell and see!
