I beg of Thee, |
O my God, |
by Thy most exalted Word which Thou hast ordained |
as the Divine Elixir unto all who are in Thy realm, |
the Elixir through |
whose potency the crude metal of human life hath been transmuted into |
purest gold, |
O Thou in Whose hands are both the visible and invisible |
kingdoms, |
to ordain that my choice be conformed to Thy choice and my wish |
to Thy wish, |
that I may be entirely content with that which Thou didst |
desire, |
and be wholly satisfied with what Thou didst destine for me by Thy |
bounteousness and favor. |
Potent art Thou to do as Thou willest. |
Thou, |
in |
very truth, |
art the All-Glorious, |
the All-Wise. |
Happy is the man who hath recognized Thee, |
and discovered the sweetness of |
Thy fragrance, |
and set himself towards Thy kingdom, |
and tasted of the |
things that have been perfected therein by Thy grace and favor. |
Great is |
the blessedness of him who hath acknowledged Thy most excellent majesty, |
and whom the veils that have shut out the nations from Thee have not |
hindered from directing his eyes towards Thee, |
O Thou Who art the King of |
eternity and the Quickener of every moldering bone! |
Blessed, |
also, |
is he |
that hath inhaled Thy sweet savors, |
and been carried away by Thine |
utterances in Thy days. |
Blessed, |
moreover, |
be the man that hath turned |
unto Thee, |
and woe betide him that hath turned his back upon Thee. |
Praised be Thou, |
the Lord of the worlds! |
O Thou Who dealest equitably with all who are in heaven and on earth, |
and |
rulest over the kingdom of Thy creation and of Thy Revelation! |
I testify |
that every man of equity hath recognized his unfairness in the face of the |
revelation of the splendors of the Day-Star of Thy Justice, |
and the ablest |
of pens hath confessed its impotence before the movement of Thy most |
exalted Pen. |
By Thy life, |
O Thou the Possessor of all names! |
The minds of the |
profoundest thinkers are sore perplexed as they contemplate the ocean of |
Thy knowledge, |
and the heaven of Thy wisdom, |
and the Luminary of Thy |
grace. |
How can he who is but a creation of Thy will claim to know what is |
with Thee, |
or to conceive Thy nature? |
Praise, |
immeasurable praise be to Thee! |
I swear by Thy glory! |
My inner and |
outer tongue, |
openly and secretly, |
testify that Thou hast been exalted |
above the reach and ken of Thy creatures, |
above the utterance of Thy |
servants, |
above the testimonies of Thy dear ones and Thy chosen ones, |
and |
the apprehension of Thy Prophets and of Thy Messengers. |
I beseech Thee, |
