and
Thy sovereignty,
and acknowledgeth Thy Revelation and Thy might.
They have
so traduced Him as to cause the inmates of the all-glorious Tabernacle and
the Concourse on high to lament,
and have uttered such calumnies against
Him that the souls of Thy chosen Ones and the hearts of them that are dear
to Thee have melted.
They have erred so grievously that they cast away Thy
most resplendent signs,
and clung to their idle fancies,
O Thou Who art
the Possessor of Names and the Lord of the Throne on high and of earth
below!
Thou art,
O my God and the Exultation of my heart,
the One Who hath
adorned Thy Tablet,
of which none is aware except Thee,
with the mention
of this Day which Thou didst call after Thy name,
that haply none may on
that day be seen save Thy most august Self,
and naught else be brought to
mind except Thy most sweet remembrance.
No sooner had He revealed Himself than the foundations of the kindreds of
the earth shook and trembled,
and the learned swooned away,
and the wise
were bewildered,
except such as have,
through the power of Thy might,
drawn nigh unto Thee,
and received the choice wine of Thy Revelation from
the hand of Thy grace,
and have quaffed it in Thy name,
and exclaimed:
"Praise be unto Thee,
O Thou the Desire of the worlds!
and glory be to
Thee,
O Thou Who art the Exultation of the hearts that pant after Thee!
"
My God,
my Master,
my Highest Hope,
and the Goal of my desire!
Thou seest
and hearest the sighing of this wronged One,
from this darksome well which
the vain imaginations of Thine adversaries have built,
and from this blind
pit which the idle fancies of the wicked among Thy creatures have digged.
By Thy Beauty,
O Thou Whose glory is uncovered to the face of men!
I am
not impatient in the troubles that touch me in my love for Thee,
neither
in the adversities which I suffer in Thy path.
Nay,
I have,
by Thy power,
chosen them for mine own self,
and I glory in them amongst such of Thy
creatures as enjoy near access to Thee,
and those of Thy servants that are
wholly devoted to Thy Self.
I beseech Thee,
however,
O Thou Who art the Enlightener of the world and
the Lord of the nations,
at this very moment when,
with the hands of hope,
I have clung to the hem of the raiment of Thy mercy and Thy bounty,
to
forgive Thy servants who have soared in the atmosphere of Thy nearness,
and set their faces towards the splendors of the light of Thy countenance,
and turned unto the horizon of Thy good pleasure,
and approached the ocean
of Thy mercy,
and all their lives long have spoken forth Thy praise,
and
have been inflamed with the fire of their love for Thee.
Do Thou ordain
for them,
