O God!
The trials Thou sendest are a salve to the sores of all them who
are devoted to Thy will;
the remembrance of Thee is a healing medicine to
the hearts of such as have drawn nigh unto Thy court;
nearness to Thee is
the true life of them who are Thy lovers;
Thy presence is the ardent
desire of such as yearn to behold Thy face;
remoteness from Thee is a
torment to those that have acknowledged Thy oneness,
and separation from
Thee is death unto them that have recognized Thy truth!
I beseech Thee by the sighs which they whose souls pant after Thee have
uttered in their remoteness from Thy court,
and by the cries of such of
Thy lovers as bemoan their separation from Thee,
to nourish me with the
wine of Thy knowledge and the living waters of Thy love and pleasure.
Behold Thy handmaiden,
O my Lord,
who hath forgotten all else except Thee,
and who hath delighted herself with Thy love,
and lamented over the things
that have befallen Thee at the hands of the wicked doers among Thy
creatures.
Do Thou ordain for her that which Thou didst ordain for such of
Thy handmaidens as circle round the throne of Thy majesty,
and gaze,
at
eventide and at dawn,
on Thy beauty.
Thou art,
verily,
the Lord of the Judgment Day.
Glory be to Thee,
O Lord my God!
These are the days whereon Thou hast
bidden all men to observe the fast,
that through it they may purify their
souls and rid themselves of all attachment to any one but Thee,
and that
out of their hearts may ascend that which will be worthy of the court of
Thy majesty and may well beseem the seat of the revelation of Thy oneness.
Grant,
O my Lord,
that this fast may become a river of life-giving waters
and may yield the virtue wherewith Thou hast endowed it.
Cleanse Thou by
its means the hearts of Thy servants whom the evils of the world have
failed to hinder from turning towards Thine all-glorious Name,
and who
have remained unmoved by the noise and tumult of such as have repudiated
Thy most resplendent signs which have accompanied the advent of Thy
Manifestation Whom Thou hast invested with Thy sovereignty,
Thy power,
Thy
majesty and glory.
These are the servants who,
as soon as Thy call reached
them,
hastened in the direction of Thy mercy and were not kept back from
Thee by the changes and chances of this world or by any human limitations.
I am he,
O my God,
who testifieth to Thy unity,
who acknowledgeth Thy
oneness,
who boweth humbly before the revelations of Thy majesty,
and who
recognizeth with downcast countenance the splendors of the light of Thy
transcendent glory.
I have believed in Thee after Thou didst enable me to
know Thy Self,
Whom Thou hast revealed to men's eyes through the power of
Thy sovereignty and might.
Unto Him I have turned,
