and |
graciously aid me to serve Thee and them that are dear to Thee. |
Potent art |
Thou to do as Thou willest. |
No God is there but Thee, |
the God of strength, |
of glory and wisdom. |
Many a chilled heart, |
O my God, |
hath been set ablaze with the fire of Thy |
Cause, |
and many a slumberer hath been wakened by the sweetness of Thy |
voice. |
How many are the strangers who have sought shelter beneath the |
shadow of the tree of Thy oneness, |
and how numerous the thirsty ones who |
have panted after the fountain of Thy living waters in Thy days! |
Blessed is he that hath set himself towards Thee, |
and hasted to attain the |
Day-Spring of the lights of Thy face. |
Blessed is he who with all his |
affections hath turned to the Dawning-Place of Thy Revelation and the |
Fountain-Head of Thine inspiration. |
Blessed is he that hath expended in |
Thy path what Thou didst bestow upon him through Thy bounty and favor. |
Blessed is he who, |
in his sore longing after Thee, |
hath cast away all else |
except Thyself. |
Blessed is he who hath enjoyed intimate communion with |
Thee, |
and rid himself of all attachment to any one save Thee. |
I beseech Thee, |
O my Lord, |
by Him Who is Thy Name, |
Who, |
through the power |

hath risen above the horizon of His prison, |
to ordain for every one what becometh Thee and beseemeth Thine exaltation. |
Thy might, |
in truth, |
is equal to all things. |
Lauded be Thy name, |
O Lord my God! |
Thou seest me in this day shut up in my |
prison, |
and fallen into the hands of Thine adversaries, |
and beholdest my |
son (The Purest Branch) lying on the dust before Thy face. |
He is Thy |
servant, |
O my Lord, |
whom Thou hast caused to be related to Him Who is the |
Manifestation of Thyself and the Day-Spring of Thy Cause. |
At his birth he was afflicted through his separation from Thee, |
according |
to what had been ordained for him through Thine irrevocable decree. |
And |
when he had quaffed the cup of reunion with Thee, |
he was cast into prison |
for having believed in Thee and in Thy signs. |
He continued to serve Thy |
Beauty until he entered into this Most Great Prison. |
Thereupon I offered |
him up, |
O my God, |
as a sacrifice in Thy path. |
Thou well knowest what they |
who love Thee have endured through this trial that hath caused the |
kindreds of the earth to wail, |
and beyond them the Concourse on high to |
lament. |
I beseech Thee, |
