Fix, |
then, |
mine eyes |
upon Thee, |
and rid me of all attachment to aught else except Thyself. |
Aid |
me to do what Thou desirest, |
and to fulfill what Thou pleasest. |
Thou art truly the Lord of this life and of the next. |
Thou art, |
in truth, |
the Ever-Forgiving, |
the Most Merciful. |
Lauded be Thy name, |
O Thou Who beholdest all things and art hidden from |
all things! |
From every land Thou hearest the lamentations of them that |

and from every direction Thou hearkenest unto the cries of such |
as have recognized Thy sovereignty. |

those who will keep them safe from all their adversaries. |
Potent art Thou to do Thy pleasure. |
Thou art, |
verily, |
the Supreme Ruler, |
the Almighty, |
the Help in Peril, |
the Self-Subsisting. |
Praised be Thou, |
O Lord my God! |
I am Thy servant and the son of Thy |
servant. |
I have set my face towards Thy Cause, |
believing in Thy oneness, |
acknowledging Thy unity, |
recognizing Thy sovereignty and the power of Thy |
might, |
and confessing the greatness of Thy majesty and glory. |
I ask Thee, |
by Thy name through which the heaven was cleft asunder, |
and the earth was |
rent in twain, |
and the mountains were crushed, |
