and hath hasted to attain the Well-Spring of Thy tranquillity; burdened |
with sin, and hath set her face toward the court of Thy forgiveness. |
Attire her, by Thy sovereignty and Thy loving-kindness, O my God and my |
Beloved, with the raiment of Thy balm and Thy healing, and make her quaff |
of the cup of Thy mercy and Thy favors. Protect her, moreover, from every |
affliction and ailment, from all pain and sickness, and from whatsoever |
may be abhorrent unto Thee. |
Thou, in truth, art immensely exalted above all else except Thyself. Thou |
art, verily, the Healer, the All-Sufficing, the Preserver, the |
Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful. |
Thou art He, O my God, through Whose names the sick are healed and the |
ailing are restored, and the thirsty are given drink, and the sore-vexed |
are tranquillized, and the wayward are guided, and the abased are exalted, |
and the poor are enriched, and the ignorant are enlightened, and the |
gloomy are illumined, and the sorrowful are cheered, and the chilled are |
warmed, and the downtrodden are raised up. Through Thy name, O my God, all |
created things were stirred up, and the heavens were spread, and the earth |
was established, and the clouds were raised and made to rain upon the |
earth. This, verily, is a token of Thy grace unto all Thy creatures. |
I implore Thee, therefore, by Thy name through which Thou didst manifest |
Thy Godhead, and didst exalt Thy Cause above all creation, and by each of |
Thy most excellent titles and most august attributes, and by all the |
virtues wherewith Thy transcendent and most exalted Being is extolled, to |
send down this night from the clouds of Thy mercy the rains of Thy healing |
upon this suckling, whom Thou hast related unto Thine all-glorious Self in |
the kingdom of Thy creation. Clothe him, then, O my God, by Thy grace, |
with the robe of well-being and health, and guard him, O my Beloved, from |
every affliction and disorder, and from whatever is obnoxious unto Thee. |
Thy might, verily, is equal to all things. Thou, in truth, art the Most |
Powerful, the Self-Subsisting. Send down, moreover, upon him, O my God, |
the good of this world and of the next, and the good of the former and |
latter generations. Thy might and Thy wisdom are, verily, equal unto this. |
Glory be to Thee, O Lord my God! I implore Thee by Thy Name, through which |
Thou didst lift up the ensigns of Thy guidance, and didst shed the |
radiance of Thy loving-kindness, and didst reveal the sovereignty of Thy |
Lordship; through which the lamp of Thy names hath appeared within the |
niche of Thine attributes, and He Who is the Tabernacle of Thy unity and |
the Manifestation of detachment hath shone forth; through which the ways |
of Thy guidance were made known, and the paths of Thy good pleasure were |
marked out; through which the foundations of error have been made to |
tremble, and the signs of wickedness have been abolished; through which |
the fountains of wisdom have burst forth, and the heavenly table hath been |
sent down; through which Thou didst preserve Thy servants and didst |
vouchsafe Thy healing; through which Thou didst show forth Thy tender |
mercies unto Thy servants and revealedst Thy forgiveness amidst Thy |
creatures--I implore Thee to keep safe him who hath held fast and returned |
unto Thee, and clung to Thy mercy, and seized the hem of Thy loving |
providence. Send down, then, upon him Thy healing, and make him whole, and |
endue him with a constancy vouchsafed by Thee, and a tranquillity bestowed |
by Thy highness. |
Thou art, verily, the Healer, the Preserver, the Helper, the Almighty, the |
Powerful, the All-Glorious, the All-Knowing. |
Glorified art Thou, O my God! I give praise to Thee, that Thou hast made |
me able so to reveal Thine utterances, and manifest Thy proofs and Thy |
testimonies, that every proof hath been made to circle round my will, and |
every testimony to compass my pleasure. Thou seest me, O my Lord, lying at |
the mercy of Thine adversaries, who have repudiated Thy signs, and refuted |
Thy testimony, and turned back from Thy beauty, and resolved to shed Thy |
blood. I beseech Thee, O Thou Who art the Lord of all names, by Thy name |
through which Thou hast subdued all created things, to graciously aid Thy |
servants and Thy loved ones to cleave steadfastly to Thy Cause. Give them, |
then, to drink what will quicken their hearts in Thy days. Enable them, |
moreover, O my Lord, to fix their gaze at all times upon Thy pleasure, and |
to yield Thee thanks for the evidences of Thine irrevocable decree. For |
Thou art, verily, praiseworthy in all that Thou hast done in the past, or |
wilt do in the future, and art to be obeyed in whatsoever Thou hast wished |
or wilt wish, and to be loved in all that Thou hast desired or wilt |
desire. Thou lookest upon them that are dear to Thee with the eyes of Thy |
loving-kindness, and sendest down for them only that which will profit |
them through Thy grace and Thy gifts. |
We entreat Thee, O Thou Who art the Cloud of Bounty and the Succorer of |
the distressed, that Thou wilt aid us to remember Thee, and to make known |
Thy Cause, and to arise to help Thee. Though all weakness, we yet have |
clung to Thy Name, the Most Powerful, the Almighty. |
Bless Thou, O my God, them that have stood fast in Thy Cause, and whom the |
evil suggestions of the workers of iniquity have failed to deter from |
turning towards Thy face, and who have hastened with their whole hearts |
toward Thy grace, until they finally quaffed the water that is life indeed |
from the hands of Thy bounty. |
Potent art Thou to do Thy pleasure. No God is there save Thee, the Mighty, |
the Most Generous. |
I give praise to Thee, O my God, that the fragrance of Thy loving-kindness |
hath enraptured me, and the gentle winds of Thy mercy have inclined me in |
the direction of Thy bountiful favors. Make me to quaff, O my Lord, from |
the fingers of Thy bounteousness the living waters which have enabled |
every one that hath partaken of them to rid himself of all attachment to |
any one save Thee, and to soar into the atmosphere of detachment from all |
Thy creatures, and to fix his gaze upon Thy loving providence and Thy |
manifold gifts. |
