verily, |
He |
Who, |
through the power of His might, |
doeth whatsoever He desireth, |
and |
commandeth, |
through the potency of His will, |
whatsoever He chooseth. |
None |
can withstand the operation of Thy decree; |
none can divert the course of |
Thine appointment. |
Thou art, |
in truth, |
the Almighty, |
the All-Glorious, |
the |
Most Bountiful. |
Lauded be Thy name, |
O Lord my God! |
Thou seest how I have turned myself |
toward Thee, |
and set my face in the direction of Thy grace and Thy gifts. |
I implore Thee, |
by Thy name through which Thou didst enable all them that |
have recognized Thy unity to partake of the wine of Thy mercy, |
and all |
such as have drawn nigh unto Thee to quaff the living waters of Thy |
loving-kindness, |
to rid me entirely of all vain imaginings, |
and to incline |
me in the direction of Thy grace, |
O Thou Who art the Lord of all men! |
Graciously assist me, |
O my God, |
in the days of the Manifestation of Thy |
Cause and of the Day-Spring of Thy Revelation, |
to tear asunder the veils |
which have hindered me from recognizing Thee, |
and from immersing myself |
beneath the ocean of Thy knowledge. |
Hold Thou me with the hands of Thy |
power, |
and grant that I may be so carried away by the sweet melodies of |
the Dove of Thy oneness, |
that I will cease to regard in all creation any |
face except Thy face, |
O Thou the Goal of my desire, |
and will recognize in |
the visible world naught else save the evidences of Thy might, |
O Thou Who |
art the God of mercy! |
I am but a wretched creature, |
O my Lord, |
and Thou art the All-Possessing, |
the Most High; |
and I am all weakness, |
and Thou art the Almighty, |
and the |
Supreme Ordainer in both the beginning and the end. |
Withhold not from me |
the fragrances of Thy Revelation, |
and shatter not my hopes in the |
outpourings which have been sent down out of the heaven of Thy gifts. |
Ordain Thou for me, |
O my God, |
the good of this world and the world to |
come, |
and grant me what will profit me in every world of Thy worlds, |
for I |
know not what will help or harm me. |
Thou, |
in truth, |
art the All-Knowing, |
the All-Wise. |
Have mercy, |
then, |
O my God, |
upon Thy servants who are drowned in the midst |
of the ocean of evil suggestions, |
and deliver them by the power of Thy |
sovereignty, |
