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 |

until they finally quaffed the water that is life indeed |
from the hands of Thy bounty. |

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. |
Make me ready, |
in all circumstances, |
O my Lord, |
to serve Thee and to set |
myself towards the adored sanctuary of Thy Revelation and of Thy Beauty. |
If it be Thy pleasure, |
make me to grow as a tender herb in the meadows of |
Thy grace, |
that the gentle winds of Thy will may stir me up and bend me |
into conformity with Thy pleasure, |
in such wise that my movement and my |
stillness may be wholly directed by Thee. |
Thou art He, |
by Whose name the Hidden Secret was divulged, |
and the |
Well-Guarded Name was revealed, |
and the seals of the sealed-up Goblet were |
opened, |
shedding thereby its fragrance over all creation, |
whether of the |
past or of the future. |
