O my Lord, |
by him and by his exile and his imprisonment, |
to send down upon such as loved him what will quiet their hearts and bless |
their works. |
Potent art Thou to do as Thou willest. |
No God is there but |
Thee, |
the Almighty, |
the Most Powerful. |
Praised be Thou, |
O my God! |
I beseech Thee by them who have circled round |
the throne of Thy will, |
and soared in the atmosphere of Thy good-pleasure, |
and turned with all their affections towards the Horizon of Thy Revelation |
and the Day-Spring of Thine inspiration, |
and the Dawning-Place of Thy |
names, |
to aid Thy servants to observe what Thou hast commanded them in Thy |
days--commandments through which the sacredness of Thy Cause will be |
demonstrated unto Thy servants and the affairs of Thy creatures and of Thy |
realm will be set aright. |
I testify, |
O my God, |
that this is the Day whereon Thy testimony hath been |
fulfilled, |
and Thy clear tokens have been manifested, |
and Thine utterances |
have been revealed, |
and Thy signs have been demonstrated, |
and the radiance |
of Thy countenance hath been diffused, |
and Thy proof hath been perfected, |
and Thine ascendancy hath been established, |
and Thy mercy hath overflowed, |
and the Day-Star of Thy grace hath shone forth with such brilliance that |
Thou didst manifest Him Who is the Revealer of Thyself and the Treasury of |
Thy wisdom and the Dawning-Place of Thy majesty and power. |
Thou didst |
establish His covenant with every one who hath been created in the |
kingdoms of earth and heaven and in the realms of revelation and of |
creation. |
Thou didst raise Him up to such heights that the wrongs |
inflicted by the oppressors have been powerless to deter Him from |
revealing Thy sovereignty, |
and the ascendancy of the wayward hath failed |
to prevent Him from demonstrating Thy power and from exalting Thy Cause. |
So highly didst Thou exalt Him that He openly delivered unto the kings Thy |
messages and commandments, |
and hath never for one moment sought His own |
protection, |
but striven to protect Thy servants from whatever might |
withhold them from approaching the kingdom of Thy nearness, |
and from |
setting their faces towards the horizon of Thy good-pleasure. |
Thou seest, |
O my God, |
how, |
notwithstanding the swords that are drawn |
against Him, |
He calleth the nations unto Thee, |
and though Himself a |
prisoner summoneth them to turn in the direction of Thy gifts and |
bounties. |
With every fresh tribulation He manifested a fuller measure of |
Thy Cause, |
and exalted more highly Thy word. |
I testify that through Him the Pen of the Most High was set in motion, |
and |
with His remembrance the Scriptures in the kingdom of names were |
embellished. |
Through Him Thy fragrances were wafted, |
and the sweet smell |
of Thy raiment was shed abroad amongst all the dwellers of the earth and |
the inmates of heaven. |
Thou seest and knowest full well, |
O my God, |
how He |
hath been made to dwell within the most desolate of cities, |
so that He may |
build up the hearts of Thy servants, |
