How can I choose to sleep, O God, my God, when the eyes of them that long |
for Thee are wakeful because of their separation from Thee; and how can I |
lie down to rest whilst the souls of Thy lovers are sore vexed in their |
remoteness from Thy presence? |
I have committed, O my Lord, my spirit and my entire being into the right |
hand of Thy might and Thy protection, and I lay my head on my pillow |
through Thy power, and lift it up according to Thy will and Thy |
good-pleasure. Thou art, in truth, the Preserver, the Keeper, the |
Almighty, the Most Powerful. |
By Thy might! I ask not, whether sleeping or waking, but that which Thou |
dost desire. I am Thy servant and in Thy hands. Do Thou graciously aid me |
to do what will shed forth the fragrance of Thy good pleasure. This, |
truly, is my hope and the hope of them that enjoy near access to Thee. |
Praised be Thou, O Lord of the worlds! |
My God, my Adored One, my King, my Desire! What tongue can voice my thanks |
to Thee? I was heedless, Thou didst awaken me. I had turned back from |
Thee, Thou didst graciously aid me to turn towards Thee. I was as one |
dead, Thou didst quicken me with the water of life. I was withered, Thou |
didst revive me with the heavenly stream of Thine utterance which hath |
flowed forth from the Pen of the All-Merciful. |
O Divine Providence! All existence is begotten by Thy bounty; deprive it |
not of the waters of Thy generosity, neither do Thou withhold it from the |
ocean of Thy mercy. I beseech Thee to aid and assist me at all times and |
under all conditions, and seek from the heaven of Thy grace Thine ancient |
favor. Thou art, in truth, the Lord of bounty, and the Sovereign of the |
kingdom of eternity. |
O God, my God! I beg of Thee by the ocean of Thy healing, and by the |
splendors of the Day-Star of Thy grace, and by Thy Name through which Thou |
didst subdue Thy servants, and by the pervasive power of Thy most exalted |
Word and the potency of Thy most august Pen, and by Thy mercy that hath |
preceded the creation of all who are in heaven and on earth, to purge me |
with the waters of Thy bounty from every affliction and disorder, and from |
all weakness and feebleness. |
Thou seest, O my Lord, Thy suppliant waiting at the door of Thy bounty, |
and him who hath set his hopes on Thee clinging to the cord of Thy |
generosity. Deny him not, I beseech Thee, the things he seeketh from the |
ocean of Thy grace and the Day-Star of Thy loving-kindness. |
Powerful art Thou to do what pleaseth Thee. There is none other God save |
Thee, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Generous. |
I have risen this morning by Thy grace, O my God, and left my home |
trusting wholly in Thee, and committing myself to Thy care. Send down, |
then, upon me, out of the heaven of Thy mercy, a blessing from Thy side, |
and enable me to return home in safety even as Thou didst enable me to set |
out under Thy protection with my thoughts fixed steadfastly upon Thee. |
There is none other God but Thee, the One, the Incomparable, the |
All-Knowing, the All-Wise. |
Praise be unto Thee, Who art my God and the God of all men, and my Desire |
and the Desire of all them that have recognized Thee, and my Beloved and |
the Beloved of such as have acknowledged Thy unity, and the Object of my |
adoration and of the adoration of them that have near access to Thee, and |
my Wish and the Wish of such as are wholly devoted to Thee, and my Hope |
and the Hope of them that have fixed their hearts upon Thee, and my Refuge |
and the Refuge of all such as have hastened towards Thee, and my Haven and |
the Haven of whosoever hath repaired unto Thee, and my Goal and the Goal |
of all them that have set themselves towards Thee, and my Object and the |
Object of those who have fixed their gaze upon Thee, and my Paradise and |
the Paradise of them that have ascended towards Thee, and my Lode-star and |
the Lode-star of all such as yearn after Thee, and my Joy and the Joy of |
all them that love Thee, and my Light and the Light of all such as have |
erred and asked to be forgiven by Thee, and my Exultation and the |
Exultation of all them that remember Thee, and my Stronghold and the |
Stronghold of all such as have fled to Thee, and my Sanctuary and the |
Sanctuary of all that dread Thee, and my Lord and the Lord of all such as |
dwell in the heavens and on the earth! |
