Glorified art Thou, |
O Lord my God! |
I yield Thee thanks for having enabled |
me to recognize the Manifestation of Thyself, |
and for having severed me |
from Thine enemies, |
and laid bare before mine eyes their misdeeds and |
wicked works in Thy days, |
and for having rid me of all attachment to them, |
and caused me to turn wholly towards Thy grace and bountiful favors. |
I |
give Thee thanks, |
also, |
for having sent down upon me from the clouds of |
Thy will that which hath so sanctified me from the hints of the infidels |
and the allusions of the misbelievers that I have fixed my heart firmly on |
Thee, |
and fled from such as have denied the light of Thy countenance. |
Again I thank Thee for having empowered me to be steadfast in Thy love, |
and to speak forth Thy praise and to extol Thy virtues, |
and for having |
given me to drink of the cup of Thy mercy that hath surpassed all things |
visible and invisible. |
Thou art the Almighty, |
the Most Exalted, |
the All-Glorious, |
the All-Loving. |
Praised be Thou, |
O my God! |
Thou seest me shut up in this Prison, |
and art |
well aware that I have entered it solely for Thy sake and for the sake of |
the glorification of Thy word and the proclamation of Thy Cause. |
I cry out |
to Thee, |
this very moment, |
O Thou Who art the Lord of all worlds, |
beseeching Thee, |
by Thine undoubted Name, |
to attract the hearts of Thy |
servants unto the Day-Spring of Thy most excellent titles and the |
Dawning-Place of Thy most resplendent signs. |
But for the troubles that touch me in Thy path, |
O my God, |
how else could |
my heart rejoice in Thy days; |
and were it not for the blood which is shed |
for love of Thee, |
what else could tinge the faces of Thy chosen ones |
before the eyes of Thy creatures? |
I swear by Thy might! |
The ornament that |
adorneth the countenance of Thy dear ones is the blood which, |
in their |
love for Thee, |
floweth out of their foreheads over their faces. |
Thou beholdest, |
O my God, |
how every bone in my body soundeth like a pipe |
with the music of Thine inspiration, |
revealing the signs of Thy oneness |
and the clear tokens of Thy unity. |
I entreat Thee, |
O my God, |
by Thy Name |
which irradiateth all things, |
to raise up such servants as shall incline |
their ears to the voice of the melodies that hath ascended from the right |
hand of the throne of Thy glory. |
Make them, |
then, |
to quaff from the hand |
of Thy grace the wine of Thy mercy, |
that it may assure their hearts, |
and |
cause them to turn away from the left hand of idle fancies and vain |
imaginings to the right hand of confidence and certitude. |
