Thou art, |
verily, |
the One to the power of Whose might all things have |
testified, |
and to Whose majesty and omnipotence the whole creation hath |
borne witness. |
No God is there but Thee, |
the Help in Peril, |
the Self-Subsisting. |
My God, |
Thou Whom I adore and worship, |
Who art Most Powerful! |
I testify |
that no description by any created thing can ever reveal Thee, |
and no |
praise which any being is able to utter can express Thee. |
Neither the |
comprehension of any one in the whole world, |
nor the intelligence of any |
of its peoples, |
can, |
as it befitteth Thee, |
gain admittance into the court |
of Thy holiness, |
or unravel Thy mystery. |
What sin hath kept the inmates of |
the city of Thy names so far from Thine all-glorious Horizon, |
and deprived |
them of access to Thy most great Ocean? |
One single letter of Thy Book is |
the mother of all utterances, |
and a word therefrom the begetter of all |
creation. |
What ingratitude have Thy servants shown forth that Thou hast |
withheld them, |
one and all, |
from recognizing Thee? |
A drop out of the ocean |
of Thy mercy sufficeth to quench the flames of hell, |
and a spark of the |
fire of Thy love is enough to set ablaze a whole world. |
O Thou Who art the All-Knowing! |
Wayward though we be, |
we still cling to |
Thy bounty; |
and though ignorant, |
we still set our faces toward the ocean |
of Thy wisdom. |
Thou art that All-Bountiful Who art not deterred by a |
multitude of sins from vouchsafing Thy bounty, |
and the flow of Whose gifts |
is not arrested by the withdrawal of the peoples of the world. |
From |
eternity the door of Thy grace hath remained wide open. |
A dewdrop out of |
the ocean of Thy mercy is able to adorn all things with the ornament of |
sanctity, |
and a sprinkling of the waters of Thy bounty can cause the |
entire creation to attain unto true wealth. |
Lift not the veil, |
O Thou Who art the Concealer! |
From eternity the tokens |
of Thy bounty have encompassed the universe, |
and the splendors of Thy Most |
Great Name have been shed over all created things. |
Deny not Thy servants |
the wonders of Thy grace. |
Cause them to be made aware of Thee, |
that they |
may bear witness to Thy unity, |
and enable them to recognize Thee, |
that |
they may hasten towards Thee. |
Thy mercy hath embraced the whole creation, |
and Thy grace hath pervaded all things. |
From the billows of the ocean of |
Thy generosity the seas of eagerness and enthusiasm were revealed. |
Thou |
art what Thou art. |
Aught except Thee is unworthy of any mention unless it |
entereth beneath Thy shadow, |
and gaineth admittance into Thy court. |
Whatever betide us, |
Subsets and Splits
