Thou didst,
through Thy strengthening grace,
enable to
approach it,
while others Thou didst keep back by reason of what their
hands have wrought in Thy days.
Whoso hath hasted towards it and attained
unto it hath,
in his eagerness to gaze on Thy beauty,
yielded his life in
Thy path,
and ascended unto Thee,
wholly detached from aught else except
Thyself.
I beseech Thee,
O my Lord,
by this Fire which blazeth and rageth in the
world of creation,
to rend asunder the veils that have hindered me from
appearing before the throne of Thy majesty,
and from standing at the door
of Thy gate.
Do Thou ordain for me,
O my Lord,
every good thing Thou didst
send down in Thy Book,
and suffer me not to be far removed from the
shelter of Thy mercy.
Powerful art Thou to do what pleaseth Thee.
Thou art,
verily,
the
All-Powerful,
the Most Generous.
Lauded be Thy name,
O my God!
Aid Thou by Thy strengthening grace Thy
servants and Thy handmaidens to recount Thy virtues and to be steadfast in
their love towards Thee.
How many the leaves which the tempests of trials
have caused to fall,
and how many,
too,
are those which,
clinging
tenaciously to the tree of Thy Cause,
have remained unshaken by the tests
that have assailed them,
O Thou Who art our Lord,
the Most Merciful!
I render Thee thanks that Thou hast made known unto me such servants as
have utterly abolished,
by the power of Thy might and of Thy sovereignty,
the idols of their corrupt desires,
and were not kept back by the things
which are possessed by Thy creatures from turning in the direction of Thy
grace.
These have so vehemently rent the veils asunder that the dwellers
of the cities of self have wept,
and fear and trembling seized the people
of envy and wickedness who,
adorning their heads and their bodies with the
emblems of knowledge,
have proudly rejected Thee and turned away from Thy
beauty.
I implore Thee,
O my Lord,
by Thy surpassing majesty and Thine Ancient
Name,
to enable Thy loved ones to assist Thee.
Direct,
then,
continually
their faces towards Thy face,
and write down for them what will cause all
hearts to exult and all eyes to be gladdened.
Thou,
truly,
art the Help in peril,
the Self-Subsisting.
