Pete Townshend - Parvardigar Lyrics

Adopted from Meher Baba's universal prayer



O Parvardigar, the Preserver and Protector of all

Without beginning are you Lord without end

Non-dual, beyond compare, and none can measure You

Without color, expression, or form, nor attributes to live



You are unlimited and unfathomable

Imperishable beyond conception by our minds

No onecan defyyou ,oh God you are eternal

None can see you but with eyes divine



You always were, You always are, and always will be

You are everywhere, in everything and beyond

In the firmament above and in the deep

On all the seven planes and farther on

And in all that's hidden to our eyes and always see



Beyond the trinity of words and in the vow

You can not be perceived or no one shall repent

O Parvardigar preserve protect us all

Without begging are you Lord without end

You always were, You always are, and always will be



You are the Creator, the Lord of Lords

The knower of all minds and hearts

Omnipotent, omnipresent, from you we cower

You are Knowledge, Infinite Bliss, Infinite Power



You are the ocean of knowledge knowing all

Infinitely knowing, but cannot tell

The knower of the past, the present and future

crowning even this, your knowledge itself



Oh merciful benevolent eternal

You're the trinity of Knowledge, Truth and Bliss

You are the source of Truth, The One with infinite attributes

You are the ocean of love we sorely miss



You always were, You always are, and always will be

You are the Ancient One, the Highest of the High

You are Prabhu and Parameshwar

You are the Beyond God, Beyond-Beyond God also

Parabrahma; Paramatma and Allah

Yezdan; Ahuramazda and God the Beloved



O Parvardigar, the Preserver and Protector of all

Without beginning are you Lord without end

You are named Ezad, the only one worthy of worship

We sing the universal prayer to you Amen
