and the sun of Thy beauty risen, |
and Thy testimony |
established, |
and Thy signs uncovered, |
--I beseech Thee to grant that I may |
be numbered with them that have quaffed the wine that is life indeed from |
the hands of Thy gracious providence, |
and have rid themselves, |
in Thy |
path, |
of all attachment to Thy creatures, |
and been so inebriated with Thy |
manifold wisdom that they hastened to the field of sacrifice with Thy |
praise on their lips and Thy remembrance in their hearts. |
Send down, |
also, |
upon me, |
O my God, |
that which will wash me from anything that is not of |
Thee, |
and deliver me from Thine enemies who have disbelieved in Thy signs. |
Potent art Thou to do what Thou willest. |
No God is there beside Thee, |
the |
Help in Peril, |
the Self-Subsisting. |
Praise be to Thee, |
O Lord my God! |
Thou seest and knowest that I have |
called upon Thy servants to turn nowhere except in the direction of Thy |
bestowals, |
and have bidden them observe naught save the things Thou didst |
prescribe in Thy Perspicuous Book, |
the Book which hath been sent down |
according to Thine inscrutable decree and irrevocable purpose. |
I can utter no word, |
O my God, |
unless I be permitted by Thee, |
and can move |
in no direction until I obtain Thy sanction. |
It is Thou, |
O my God, |
Who |
hast called me into being through the power of Thy might, |
and hast endued |
me with Thy grace to manifest Thy Cause. |
Wherefore I have been subjected |
to such adversities that my tongue hath been hindered from extolling Thee |
and from magnifying Thy glory. |
All praise be to Thee, |
O my God, |
for the things Thou didst ordain for me |
through Thy decree and by the power of Thy sovereignty. |
I beseech Thee |
that Thou wilt fortify both myself and them that love me in our love for |
Thee, |
and wilt keep us firm in Thy Cause. |
I swear by Thy might! |
O my God! |
Thy servant's shame is to be shut out as by a veil from Thee, |
and his |
glory is to know Thee. |
Armed with the power of Thy name nothing can ever |
hurt me, |
and with Thy love in my heart all the world's afflictions can in |
no wise alarm me. |
Send down, |
therefore, |
O my Lord, |
upon me and upon my loved ones that which |
will protect us from the mischief of those that have repudiated Thy truth |
and disbelieved in Thy signs. |
Thou art, |
verily, |
the All-Glorious, |
the Most Bountiful. |
