Thou seest Thy dear One,
O my God,
lying at the mercy of Thine enemies,
and hearest the voice of His lamentation from the midst of such of Thy
creatures as have dealt wickedly in Thy sight.
He it is,
O my Lord,
through Whose name Thou didst beautify Thy Tablets,
and for Whose greater
glory Thou didst send down the Bayán,
and at Whose separation from Thee
Thou didst weep continually.
Look Thou,
then,
upon His loneliness,
O my
God,
and behold Him fallen into the hands of them that have disbelieved in
Thy signs,
have turned their backs upon Thee,
and have forgotten the
wonders of Thy mercy.
He it is,
O my God,
about Whom Thou hast said:
"But for Thee the
Scriptures would have remained unrevealed,
and the Prophets unsent.
" And
no sooner had He,
by Thy behest,
been manifested and spoken forth Thy
praise,
than the wicked doers among Thy creatures compassed Him round,
with the swords of hate drawn against Him,

and caused Him to be afflicted with
such troubles that the scrolls of the world are insufficient to contain a
full recital of them.
Thou seest,
therefore,
O Thou Beloved of the world,
Him Who is dear to
Thee in the clutches of such as have denied Thee,
and beholdest Thy
heart's desire under the swords of the ungodly.
Methinks He,
from His most
exalted station,
saith unto me:
"Would that my soul,
O Prisoner,
could be
a ransom for Thy captivity,
and my being,
O wronged One,
be sacrificed for
the adversities Thou didst suffer!
Thou art He through Whose captivity the
standards of Thine almighty power were hoisted,
and the day-star of Thy
revelation shone forth above the horizon of tribulation,
in such wise that
all created things bowed down before the greatness of Thy majesty.
"The more they strove to hinder Thee from remembering Thy God and from
extolling His virtues,
the more passionately didst Thou glorify Him and
