Thy glory beareth me witness, |
O my Beloved! |
My pen is powerless to |
describe what their hands have wrought against Him Who is the |
Manifestation of Thy Cause, |
and the Day-Spring of Thy Revelation, |
and the |
Dawning-Place of Thine inspiration. |
For all this I give praise to Thee. |
I |
swear by Thy glory, |
O my God! |
My heart yearneth after the things ordained |
by Thee in the heaven of Thy decree and the kingdom of Thine appointment. |
For whatsoever befalleth me in Thy path is the beloved of my soul and the |
goal of my desire. |
This, |
verily, |
is to be ascribed to naught except Thy |
power and Thy might. |
I am the one, |
O my God, |
who, |
through the love I bear to Thee, |
hath been |
able to dispense with all who are in heaven and on earth. |
Armed with this |
love, |
I am afraid of no one, |
though all the peoples of the world unite to |
hurt me. |
Oh, |
that my blood could, |
this very moment, |
be shed on the face of |
the earth before Thee, |
and Thou wouldst behold me in the condition in |
which Thou didst behold such of Thy servants as have drawn nigh unto Thee, |
and those of Thy righteous creatures as have been chosen by Thee! |
I give Thee thanks, |
O my God, |
that Thou hast decided through the power of |
Thy decree, |
and wilt continue to decide through Thine irrevocable |
appointment and purpose. |
I entreat Thee, |
O my Beloved, |
by Thy Name through |
which Thou didst lift up the ensigns of Thy Cause, |
and shed the splendors |
of the light of Thy countenance, |
to send down upon me and upon such of Thy |
servants as are wholly devoted to Thee all the good Thou hast ordained in |
Thy Tablets. |
Establish us, |
then, |
upon the seats of truth in Thy presence, |
O Thou in Whose hands is the kingdom of all things! |
Thou art, |
verily, |
the Almighty, |
the All-Glorious, |
the Most Merciful. |
The praise which hath dawned from Thy most august Self, |
and the glory |
which hath shone forth from Thy most effulgent Beauty, |
rest upon Thee, |
O |
Thou Who art the Manifestation of Grandeur, |
and the King of Eternity, |
and |
the Lord of all who are in heaven and on earth! |
I testify that through |
Thee the sovereignty of God and His dominion, |
and the majesty of God and |
His grandeur, |
were revealed, |
and the Day-Stars of ancient splendor have |
shed their radiance in the heaven of Thine irrevocable decree, |
and the |
Beauty of the Unseen hath shone forth above the horizon of creation. |
I |
testify, |
moreover, |
that with but a movement of Thy Pen Thine injunction |
