Cause them,
moreover,
O my God,
to hearken to Thy most sweet
voice,
that they may all hasten to recognize Thy unity and acknowledge Thy
oneness,
O Thou Who art the Beloved of the hearts of all that yearn after
Thee,
and the Object of the adoration of such as have known Thee!
I beseech Thee,
by them that have cut down all the idols in this
Revelation through which the Most Grievous Convulsion and the Great Terror
have appeared,
to assist,
at all times,
Thy servants with the signs of
Thine almighty power and the evidences of Thy transcendent and
all-compelling might.

then,
that their hearts may be made as strong
as brass,
that they may remain unmoved by the overpowering might of such

and the Day-Spring of Thine invisible Self,
and that they may all arise to
glorify and help Thee,

and by Him Whom Thou hast ordained to be the
Seal of Thy Prophets and of Thy Messengers,
to let Thy remembrance be my
companion,
and Thy love my aim,
and Thy face my goal,
and Thy name my
lamp,
and Thy wish my desire,
and Thy pleasure my delight.
I am a sinner,
O my Lord,
and Thou art the Ever-Forgiving.
As soon as I
recognized Thee,
I hastened to attain the exalted court of Thy
loving-kindness.
Forgive me,
O my Lord,
my sins which have hindered me
from walking in the ways of Thy good-pleasure,
and from attaining the
shores of the ocean of Thy oneness.
There is no one,
O my Lord,
who can deal bountifully with me to whom I can
