still have failed to repay the least of the gifts which, |
by Thy grace, |
Thou hast bestowed upon me. |
I lay asleep on the bed of self when lo, |
Thou didst waken me with the |
divine accents of Thy voice, |
and didst unveil to me Thy beauty, |
and didst |
enable me to listen to Thine utterances, |
and to recognize Thy Self, |
and to |
speak forth Thy praise, |
and to extol Thy virtues, |
and to be steadfast in |
Thy love. |
Finally I fell a captive into the hands of the wayward among Thy |
servants. |
Thou beholdest, |
therefore, |
the exile which I suffer in Thy days, |
and art |
aware of my vehement longing to look upon Thy face, |
and of mine |
irrepressible yearnings to enter the court of Thy glory, |
and of the |
stirrings of my heart under the influences of the winds of Thy mercy. |
I entreat Thee, |
O Thou Who art the Ruler of the kingdoms of creation and |
the Author of all names, |
to write down my name with the names of them who, |
from eternity, |
have circled round the Tabernacle of Thy majesty, |
and clung |
to the hem of Thy loving-kindness, |
and held fast the cord of Thy tender |
mercy. |
Thou art, |
in truth, |
the Help in Peril, |
the Self-Subsisting. |
Praised be Thou, |
O Lord my God! |
I implore Thee, |
by Thy Most Great Name |
through Which Thou didst stir up Thy servants and build up Thy cities, |
and |
by Thy most excellent titles, |
and Thy most august attributes, |
to assist |
Thy people to turn in the direction of Thy manifold bounties, |
and set |
their faces towards the Tabernacle of Thy wisdom. |
Heal Thou the sicknesses |
that have assailed the souls on every side, |
and have deterred them from |
directing their gaze towards the Paradise that lieth in the shelter of Thy |
shadowing Name, |
which Thou didst ordain to be the King of all names unto |
all who are in heaven and all who are on earth. |
Potent art Thou to do as |
pleaseth Thee. |
In Thy hands is the empire of all names. |
There is none |
other God but Thee, |
the Mighty, |
the Wise. |
I am but a poor creature, |
O my Lord; |
I have clung to the hem of Thy |
riches. |
I am sore sick; |
I have held fast the cord of Thy healing. |
Deliver |
me from the ills that have encircled me, |
and wash me thoroughly with the |
waters of Thy graciousness and mercy, |
and attire me with the raiment of |
wholesomeness, |
through Thy forgiveness and bounty. |
