and ordain for me what beseemeth Thy bounty in every world of Thy |
worlds. |
Thou beholdest, |
O my Lord, |
how I have set myself towards the ocean of Thy |
grace and the adored sanctuary of Thy favors. |
Deny me not, |
I pray Thee, |
the drops which are sprinkled from the ocean of Thy gifts; |
neither do Thou |
withhold from me the outpourings of the clouds of Thy tender mercies. |
I am |
he, |
O my God, |
that hath clung to the resplendent hem of Thy robe, |
and |
taken hold on Thy strong cord that none can sever. |
I testify that Thou |
hast created me, |
and nourished me, |
and brought me up, |
and fed me, |
and |
sustained me, |
that I may recognize Him Who is the Day-Spring of Thy signs, |
and the Revealer of Thy clear tokens. |
I offer unto Thee, |
therefore, |
most |
high praise, |
O Lord my God, |
that Thou hast suffered me to attain unto this |
most sublime station and this most august seat. |
Thou, |
truly, |
art the Great |
Giver, |
the Almighty, |
the All-Bountiful, |
the Ever-Forgiving, |
the Most |
Generous. |
Illumine mine eyes, |
O my Lord, |
with the splendors of the horizon of Thy |
Revelation, |
and brighten my heart with the effulgence of the Day-Star of |
Thy knowledge and wisdom, |
that I may set myself wholly towards Thy face, |
and be rid of all attachment to any one except Thee, |
in such wise that the |
changes and chances of the world will be powerless to hinder me from |
recognizing Him Who is the Manifestation of Thine own Self, |
and the |
Revealer of Thy signs, |
and the Day-Spring of Thy Revelation, |
and the |
Repository of Thy Cause. |
Thou art, |
verily, |
the Almighty, |
the Protector, |
the All-Glorious, |
the |
All-Wise. |
Praised be Thou, |
O my God! |
This servant of Thine testifieth that naught |
else except Thee can ever express Thee, |
nor canst Thou be described by any |
one save Thyself. |
The thoughts of them that have recognized Thy reality, |
however much they may ascend towards the heaven of Thy praise, |
can never |
hope to pass beyond the bounds which, |
by Thy behest and decree, |
have been |
fixed within their own hearts. |
How can the creature who is as nothing |
comprehend Him Who is the Ancient of Days, |
or succeed in describing the |
full measure of His sovereignty, |
His glory, |
and His grandeur? |
