Where Is God? Poem by Anwar Hussain Farooqui

Where is God and where He dwells?
Is a question of who should tell.
Is He on the mountain rock?
Or in the temple or in the mosque?
Is He on the field of war?
Or in the town's luxurious bar?
Is He on the ocean flowing?
Or in the air, that's ever ever blowing?
Is He on the barren sand?
Or amidst the fertile land?
Is He in that Arctic cold?
Or in the heat of African mould?
Is He in that love or hate?
Or in the hut or monarch's plate?
Is He in that beauty found?
Or in the singer's heart rendering sound?
Is He in that truth or lie?
Or in misery or in joy?
Is He in the learned great?
Or in the low or illiterate?
He is everywhere, to tell in short,
But lo, He dwells in human heart.
