Cause him, |
then, |
to ascend unto the heights to which he aspireth, |
and withhold him not from that which Thou dost possess. |
Thou art, |
verily, |
the Ever-Forgiving, |
the Most Bountiful. |
Praised be Thou, |
O Lord my God! |
Every time I attempt to make mention of |
Thee, |
I am hindered by the sublimity of Thy station and the overpowering |
greatness of Thy might. |
For were I to praise Thee throughout the length of |
Thy dominion and the duration of Thy sovereignty, |
I would find that my |
praise of Thee can befit only such as are like unto me, |
who are themselves |
Thy creatures, |
and who have been generated through the power of Thy decree |
and been fashioned through the potency of Thy will. |
And at whatever time |
my pen ascribeth glory to any one of Thy names, |
methinks I can hear the |
voice of its lamentation in its remoteness from Thee, |
and can recognize |
its cry because of its separation from Thy Self. |
I testify that everything |
other than Thee is but Thy creation and is held in the hollow of Thy hand. |
To have accepted any act or praise from Thy creatures is but an evidence |
of the wonders of Thy grace and bountiful favors, |
and a manifestation of |
Thy generosity and providence. |
I entreat Thee, |
O my Lord, |
by Thy Most Great Name whereby Thou didst |
separate light from fire, |
and truth from denial, |
to send down upon me and |
upon such of my loved ones as are in my company the good of this world and |
of the next. |
Supply us, |
then, |
with Thy wondrous gifts that are hid from |
the eyes of men. |
Thou art, |
verily, |
the Fashioner of all creation. |
No God |
is there but Thee, |
the Almighty, |
the All-Glorious, |
the Most High. |
O Thou, |
at Whose dreadful majesty all things have trembled, |
in Whose grasp |
are the affairs of all men, |
towards Whose grace and mercy are set the |
faces of all Thy creatures! |
I entreat Thee, |
by Thy Name which Thou hast |
ordained to be the spirit of all names that are in the kingdom of names, |
to shield us from the whisperings of those who have turned away from Thee, |
and have repudiated the truth of Thy most august and most exalted Self, |
in |
this Revelation that hath caused the kingdom of Thy names to tremble. |
I am one of Thy handmaidens, |
O my Lord! |
I have turned my face towards the |
sanctuary of Thy gracious favors and the adored tabernacle of Thy glory. |
Purify me of all that is not of Thee, |
and strengthen me to love Thee and |
to fulfill Thy pleasure, |
that I may delight myself in the contemplation of |
Thy beauty, |
and be rid of all attachment to any of Thy creatures, |
