the Most
Exalted,
the Most Glorious,
and clinging to the hem of the robe to which
have clung all in this world and in the world to come.
I beseech Thee,
O my God,
by the light of Thy countenance which impelled
them who are nigh unto Thee to meet the darts of Thy decree,
and such as
are devoted to Thee to face the swords of Thine enemies in Thy path,
to
write down for me with Thy most exalted Pen what Thou hast written down
for Thy trusted ones and Thy chosen ones.
Thou seest me,
O my God,
holding
to Thy Name,
the Most Holy,
the Most Luminous,
the Most Mighty,
the Most
Great,
the Most Exalted,
the Most Glorious,
and clinging to the hem of the
robe to which have clung all in this world and in the world to come.
I beseech Thee,
O my God,
by Thy Name through which Thou hast hearkened
unto the call of Thy lovers,
and the sighs of them that long for Thee,
and
the cry of them that enjoy near access to Thee,
and the groaning of them
that are devoted to Thee,
and through which Thou hast fulfilled the wishes
of them that have set their hopes on Thee,
and hast granted them their
desires,
through Thy grace and Thy favors,
and by Thy Name through which
the ocean of forgiveness surged before Thy face,
and the clouds of Thy
generosity rained upon Thy servants,
to write down for every one who hath
turned unto Thee,
and observed the fast prescribed by Thee,
the recompense
decreed for such as speak not except by Thy leave,
and who forsook all
that they possessed in Thy path and for love of Thee.
I beseech Thee,
O my Lord,
by Thyself,
and by Thy signs,
and Thy clear
tokens,
and the shining light of the Day-Star of Thy Beauty,
and Thy
Branches,
to cancel the trespasses of those who have held fast to Thy
laws,
and have observed what Thou hast prescribed unto them in Thy Book.
Thou seest me,
O my God,
holding to Thy Name,
the Most Holy,
the Most
Luminous,
the Most Mighty,
the Most Great,
the Most Exalted,
the Most
Glorious,
and clinging to the hem of the robe to which have clung all in
this world and in the world to come.
Praised be Thou,
O Lord my God!
I supplicate Thee by Him Whom Thou hast
called into being,
Whose Revelation Thou hast ordained to be Thine own
Revelation and His Concealment Thine own Concealment.
Through His
Firstness Thou hast confirmed Thine own Firstness,
and through His
