verily, |
the Most Powerful, |
the All-Glorious, |
the |
Beneficent. |
Cast not away, |
O my Lord, |
him that hath turned towards Thee, |
nor suffer |
him who hath drawn nigh unto Thee to be removed far from Thy court. |
Dash |
not the hopes of the suppliant who hath longingly stretched out his hands |
to seek Thy grace and favors, |
and deprive not Thy sincere servants of the |
wonders of Thy tender mercies and loving-kindness. |
Forgiving and Most |
Bountiful art Thou, |
O my Lord! |
Power hast Thou to do what Thou pleasest. |
All else but Thee are impotent before the revelations of Thy might, |
are as |
lost in the face of the evidences of Thy wealth, |
are as nothing when |
compared with the manifestations of Thy transcendent sovereignty, |
and are |
destitute of all strength when face to face with the signs and tokens of |
Thy power. |
What refuge is there beside Thee, |
O my Lord, |
to which I can |
flee, |
and where is there a haven to which I can hasten? |
Nay, |
the power of |
Thy might beareth me witness! |
No protector is there but Thee, |
no place to |
flee to except Thee, |
no refuge to seek save Thee. |
Cause me to taste, |
O my |
Lord, |
the divine sweetness of Thy remembrance and praise. |
I swear by Thy |
might! |
Whosoever tasteth of its sweetness will rid himself of all |
attachment to the world and all that is therein, |
and will set his face |
towards Thee, |
cleansed from the remembrance of any one except Thee. |
Inspire then my soul, |
O my God, |
with Thy wondrous remembrance, |
that I may |
glorify Thy name. |
Number me not with them who read Thy words and fail to |
find Thy hidden gift which, |
as decreed by Thee, |
is contained therein, |
and |
which quickeneth the souls of Thy creatures and the hearts of Thy |
servants. |
Cause me, |
O my Lord, |
to be reckoned among them who have been so |
stirred up by the sweet savors that have been wafted in Thy days that they |
have laid down their lives for Thee and hastened to the scene of their |
death in their longing to gaze on Thy beauty and in their yearning to |
attain Thy presence. |
And were any one to say unto them on their way, |
"Whither go ye? |
" they would say, |
"Unto God, |
the All-Possessing, |
the Help |
in Peril, |
the Self-Subsisting! |
" |
The transgressions committed by such as have turned away from Thee and |
have borne themselves haughtily towards Thee have not availed to hinder |
them from loving Thee, |
and from setting their faces towards Thee, |
and from |
turning in the direction of Thy mercy. |
These are they who are blessed by |
the Concourse on high, |
who are glorified by the denizens of the |
everlasting Cities, |
and beyond them by those on whose foreheads Thy most |
exalted pen hath written: |
"These! |
The people of Bahá. |
