By Abdul Ganiu Ajibola Bello (Crying Pen)

Ìbà to He who controls all cosmos
Without needing help from any being
Iba to existence
He who merely exists by Himself

Ìbà to the uncreated creator
who sheltered us mud with a soul
Ìbà to He who crafted beings from light
To do His will without a second thought

Ìbà to Him who created beings from fire
Delivering them with free will
Ìbà to the one who dwells in infinitude

I pay homage to the uncreated creator
One who’s holy above holiness
Pure above purity
Iba to you my creator

Ìbà to the Most Patient
who views us all as we scorn His world
And merely does nada
Homage is due to He who created me from dust and gave me Life
Ìbà

I say ìbà to the most Magnificent
Who seeks nothing from us children of earth
Except to be known/ worshipped
Homage is due to Him
Who will never test us above our peak

Ìbà to the able
Who merely granted us a soul and the cosmos
To see who acquit himself best
I pay homage to You Yahweh. Yahweh

The sovereign creator
The one who’s made me higher above animals
With the gift of intellect
The sovereign, I give you all praise

To Him who promises me a life of eternity
Provided I dwell righteously in this abode
Elohim, please help me stay on the straight path
For none can do anything without You

Oh, Allah, I beseech thee to
Please guide me through my life’s missions
For none can walk without shaking his head
Al-Ghanniy, I seek the union with I

Please let nothing hinder my belief
That I may truly walk the earth
As one of Your devoted slaves
And be a firm believer

To the creator who has praised Himself best
And has beings who do nothing but praise Him
To the most magnificent
Whom our prayers elevate not an inch but ourselves
Please make me one that’s truly Yours
And Grant me the home of eternity and another one.
