Let us recognize the glorification of those who speak and the worship of the mute; Zikr Allah at 7:30 pm on April 27 at Zawiyya al Mu'min

Yusuf Ali

We bestowed Grace aforetime on David from ourselves: "O ye Mountains! Sing ye back the Praises of Allah with him! and ye birds also! And We made the iron soft for him;- Qu'ran 
34:10

Shakir

 .... and We made the mountains, and the birds to celebrate Our praise with Dawood; and We were the doers. Qu'ran 21:79 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Each creature glorifies You in a different way,
and each is unaware of the states of the other.
The human being doesn't believe that stones utter praise,
but inanimate things are masters of worship.
The seventy-two sects are dubious about each other's state.
Since I pay no attention to the glorification of one who speaks,
how should my heart recognize
the worship offered by the mute?

Har yeki tasbih bar naw`i degar
guyad va az hâl-e ân in bi khabar
dami monker ze tasbih-e jamâd
va ân jamâd andar `ebâdat ostâd
Balke haftâd o do mellat har yeki
bi khabar az yekdegar va andar shakki
Chon man az tasbih-e nâteq ghâfelam
chon be-dânad sobheh-ye sâmet delam
