my Attractor!
Before the revelations of Thine invisible spirit summon me
to be present,
O Thou Who art my Origin and my Highest Wish,
and unto the
essence of the fragrance of Thy beauty,
which Thou wilt manifest,
cause me
to return,
O Thou Who art my God!
Potent art Thou to do what pleasest Thee.
Thou art,
verily,
the Most
Exalted,
the All-Glorious,
the All-Highest.
O Thou Whose face is the object of my adoration,
Whose beauty is my
sanctuary,
Whose habitation is my goal,
Whose praise is my hope,
Whose
providence is my companion,
Whose love is the cause of my being,
Whose
mention is my solace,
Whose nearness is my desire,
Whose presence is my
dearest wish and highest aspiration,
I entreat Thee not to withhold from
me the things Thou didst ordain for the chosen ones among Thy servants.
Supply me,
then,
with the good of this world and of the next.
Thou,
truly,
art the King of all men.
There is no God but Thee,
the
Ever-Forgiving,
the Most Generous.
O my Lord!
Make Thy beauty to be my food,
and Thy presence my drink,
and
Thy pleasure my hope,
and praise of Thee my action,
and remembrance of
Thee my companion,
and the power of Thy sovereignty my succorer,
and Thy
habitation my home,
and my dwelling-place the seat Thou hast sanctified
from the limitations imposed upon them who are shut out as by a veil from
Thee.
Thou art,
verily,
the Almighty,
the All-Glorious,
the Most Powerful.
Glory be to Thee,
O Lord my God!
Abase not him whom Thou hast exalted
through the power of Thine everlasting sovereignty,
and remove not far
from Thee him whom Thou hast caused to enter the tabernacle of Thine
eternity.
Wilt Thou cast away,
O my God,
