from Thy most effulgent Beauty. |
I swear by Thy glory! |
Such are the |
troubles that vex me, |
that no pen in the entire creation can either reckon |
or describe them. |
I implore Thee, |
O Thou Who art the King of names and the Creator of earth |
and heaven, |
so to assist me by Thy strengthening grace that nothing |
whatsoever will have the power to hinder me from remembering Thee, |
or |
celebrating Thy praise, |
or to keep me back from observing what Thou hast |
prescribed unto me in Thy Tablets, |
that I may so arise to serve Thee that |
with bared head I will hasten forth from my habitation, |
cry out in Thy |
name amidst Thy creatures, |
and proclaim Thy virtues among Thy servants. |
Having accomplished what Thou hadst decreed, |
and delivered the thing Thou |
hadst written down, |
the wicked doers among Thy people would, |
then, |
compass |
me about and would do with me in Thy path as would please them. |
In the love I bear to Thee, |
O my Lord, |
my heart longeth for Thee with a |
longing such as no heart hath known. |
Here am I with my body between Thy |
hands, |
and my spirit before Thy face. |
Do with them as it may please Thee, |
for the exaltation of Thy word, |
and the revelation of what hath been |
enshrined within the treasuries of Thy knowledge. |
Potent art Thou to do what Thou willest, |
and able to ordain what Thou |
pleasest. |
Lauded be Thy name, |
O my God! |
I can discover no one in Thy realm who can |
befittingly turn unto Thee, |
or is able to adequately hearken unto what |
hath gone out of the mouth of Thy will. |
I beseech Thee, |
therefore, |
O Thou |
Who art the Possessor of the entire creation and the King of the realm of |
Thine invention, |
graciously to aid Thy creatures to accomplish that which |
is pleasing and acceptable unto Thee, |
that they may arise to serve Thy |
Cause amidst Thy creatures, |
and to speak forth Thy praise before all who |
are in heaven and on earth. |
Thou art He, |
O my Lord, |
Whose bounty hath surpassed all things, |
and Whose |
power hath transcended all things, |
and Whose mercy hath encompassed all |
things. |
Look, |
then, |
upon Thy people with the eyes of Thy tender mercies, |
and leave them not to themselves and to their corrupt desires in Thy days. |
How farsoever they may have strayed from Thee, |
and however grievously they |
have turned back from Thy face, |
yet Thou, |
in Thine essence, |
art the |
All-Bountiful, |
and, |
in Thine inmost spirit, |
art the Most Merciful. |
Deal |
with them according to the unrevealed tokens of Thy bounty and Thy gifts. |
