which is hidden from the eyes of Thy creatures, |
and incessant trials have |
hindered the tongue of the Divine Ordainer from proclaiming the wonders of |
Thy glorification and praise. |
With a stammering tongue, |
therefore, |
I call |
upon Thee, |
O my God, |
and with this my afflicted pen I occupy myself in |
remembrance of Thy name. |
Is there any man of insight, |
O my God, |
that can behold Thee with Thine own |
eye, |
and where is the thirsty one who can direct his face towards the |
living waters of Thy love? |
I am the one, |
O my God, |
who hath blotted out |
from his heart the remembrance of all except Thee, |
and hath graven upon it |
the mysteries of Thy love. |
Thine own might beareth me witness! |
But for |
tribulations, |
how could the assured be distinguished from the doubters |
among Thy servants? |
They who have been inebriated with the wine of Thy |
knowledge, |
these, |
verily, |
hasten to meet every manner of adversity in |
their longing to pass into Thy presence. |
I implore Thee, |
O Beloved of my |
heart and the Object of my soul's adoration, |
to shield them that love me |
from the faintest trace of evil and corrupt desires. |
Supply them, |
then, |
with the good of this world and of the next. |
Thou art, |
verily, |
He Whose grace hath guided them aright, |
He Who hath |
declared Himself to be the All-Merciful. |
No God is there but Thee, |
the |
All-Glorious, |
the Supreme Helper. |
Praise be to Thee, |
O Lord my God! |
I beseech Thee by this Revelation |
whereby darkness hath been turned into light, |
through which the Frequented |
Fane hath been built, |
and the Written Tablet revealed, |
and the Outspread |
Roll uncovered, |
to send down upon me and upon them who are in my company |
that which will enable us to soar into the heavens of Thy transcendent |
glory, |
and will wash us from the stain of such doubts as have hindered the |
suspicious from entering into the tabernacle of Thy unity. |
I am the one, |
O my Lord, |
who hath held fast the cord of Thy |
loving-kindness, |
and clung to the hem of Thy mercy and favors. |
Do Thou |
ordain for me and for my loved ones the good of this world and of the |
world to come. |
Supply them, |
then, |
with the Hidden Gift Thou didst ordain |
for the choicest among Thy creatures. |
These are, |
O my Lord, |
the days in which Thou hast bidden Thy servants to |
observe the fast. |
Blessed is he that observeth the fast wholly for Thy |
sake and with absolute detachment from all things except Thee. |
