O my Lord,
by Thy Name which Thou hast made to be the
Day-Spring of Thy Revelation and the Dawning-Place of Thine inspiration,
to ordain for this wronged One and for them that are dear to Thee what
becometh Thy loftiness.
Thou,
in very truth,
art the All-Bountiful,
the
All-Powerful,
the All-Knowing,
the All-Wise.
Praise be to Thee,
O Lord my God!
I implore Thee,
by Thy Name which none
hath befittingly recognized,
and whose import no soul hath fathomed;
I
beseech Thee,
by Him Who is the Fountain-Head of Thy Revelation and the
Day-Spring of Thy signs,
to make my heart to be a receptacle of Thy love
and of remembrance of Thee.
Knit it,
then,
to Thy most great Ocean,
that
from it may flow out the living waters of Thy wisdom and the crystal
streams of Thy glorification and praise.
The limbs of my body testify to Thy unity,
and the hair of my head
declareth the power of Thy sovereignty and might.
I have stood at the door
of Thy grace with utter self-effacement and complete abnegation,
and clung
to the hem of Thy bounty,
and fixed mine eyes upon the horizon of Thy
gifts.
Do Thou destine for me,
O my God,
what becometh the greatness of Thy
majesty,
and assist me,
by Thy strengthening grace,
so to teach Thy Cause
that the dead may speed out of their sepulchers,
and rush forth towards
Thee,
trusting wholly in Thee,
and fixing their gaze upon the orient of
Thy Cause,
and the dawning-place of Thy Revelation.
Thou,
verily,
art the Most Powerful,
the Most High,
the All-Knowing,
the
All-Wise.
Thy unity is inscrutable,
O my God,
to all except them that have
recognized Him Who is the Manifestation of Thy singleness and the
Day-Spring of Thy oneness.
Whoso assigneth a rival unto Him hath assigned
a rival unto Thee,
and whoso hath set up a peer for Him hath set up a peer
for Thyself.
No,
no,
none can withstand Thee in the whole of creation.
Thou hast everlastingly been exalted far above all comparison and
likeness.
Thy oneness hath been demonstrated by the oneness of Him Who is
the Dawning-Place of Thy Revelation.
Whosoever denieth this,
hath denied
Thy unity,
