hath itself proclaimed in the kingdom of Thine eternity. |
I am stirred by |
nothing else except the winds of Thy will, |
and breathe no word except the |
words which, |
by Thy leave and Thine inspiration, |
I am led to pronounce. |
Praise be to Thee, |
O Thou Who art the Well-Beloved of all that have known |
Thee, |
and the Desire of the hearts of such as are devoted to Thee, |
inasmuch as Thou hast made me a target for the ills that I suffer in my |
love for Thee, |
and the object of the assaults launched against me in Thy |
path. |
Thy glory beareth me witness! |
I can, |
on no account, |
feel impatient |
of the adversities that I have borne in my love for Thee. |
From the very |
day Thou didst reveal Thyself unto me, |
I have accepted for myself every |
manner of tribulation. |
Every moment of my life my head crieth out to Thee |
and saith: |
"Would, |
O my Lord, |
that I could be raised on the spear-point in |
Thy path! |
" while my blood entreateth Thee saying: |
"Dye the earth with me, |
O my God, |
for the sake of Thy love and Thy pleasure! |
" Thou knowest that I |
have, |
at no time, |
sought to guard my body against any affliction, |
nay |
rather I have continually anticipated the things Thou didst ordain for me |
in the Tablet of Thy decree. |
Behold, |
then, |
O my God, |
my loneliness among Thy servants and my remoteness |
from Thy friends and Thy chosen ones. |
I beseech Thee, |
by the showers of |
the clouds of Thy mercy, |
whereby Thou hast caused the blossoms of Thy |
praise and utterance and the flowers of Thy wisdom and testimony to spring |
forth in the hearts of all them that have recognized Thy oneness, |
to |
supply Thy servants and my kindred with the fruits of the tree of Thy |
unity, |
in these days when Thou hast been established upon the throne of |
Thy mercy. |
Hinder them not, |
O my Lord, |
from attaining unto the things Thou |
dost possess, |
and write down for them that which will aid them to scale |
the heights of Thy grace and favor. |
Give them, |
moreover, |
to drink of the |
living waters of Thy knowledge, |
and ordain for them the good of this world |
and of the world to come. |
Thou art, |
verily, |
the Lord of Bahá, |
and the Beloved of his heart, |
and the |
Object of his desire, |
and the Inspirer of his tongue, |
and the Source of |
his soul. |
No God is there but Thee, |
the Inaccessible, |
the Most High. |
Thou |
art, |
verily, |
the Almighty, |
the Most Exalted, |
the Ever-Forgiving, |
the Most |
Merciful. |
