tongues of the most eloquent of speakers falter under the unrestrained |
effusions of Thy holy utterance, |
and the foundations of the mightiest |
structures tremble before the onrushing force of Thy compelling power. |
Who is there, |
O my God, |
that can be deemed worthy to be remembered when |
Thou art remembered, |
and where is he to be found who can be regarded as |
capable of hinting at Thy nature or worthy of mention in the court of Thy |
transcendent oneness? |
From everlasting Thou hast been alone with no one |
else beside Thee, |
and to everlasting Thou wilt continue to be one and the |
same. |
No God is there beside Thee, |
the God of power, |
of glory and wisdom. |
Glorified be Thy name, |
O Lord my God! |
I beseech Thee by Him Who is Thine |
exalted and supreme Remembrance, |
Whom Thou hast sent down unto all Thy |
creatures and invested with Thy name, |
the All-Glorious, |
Whose will Thou |
hast ordained to be Thine own will, |
Whose self Thou hast decreed to be the |
revealer of Thine own Self, |
and His essence the Day-Spring of Thy wisdom, |
and His heart the treasury of Thine inspiration, |
and His breast the |
dawning-place of Thy most excellent attributes and most exalted titles, |
and His tongue the fountain-head of the waters of Thy praise and the |
well-spring of the soft-flowing streams of Thy wisdom, |
to send down upon |
us that which will enable us to dispense with all else except Thee, |
and |
will cause us to direct our steps towards the sanctuary of Thy pleasure |
and to aspire after the things Thou didst ordain for us according to Thine |
irrevocable decree. |
Empower us, |
then, |
O my God, |
to forsake ourselves and |
cleave steadfastly to Him Who is the Manifestation of Thy Self, |
the Most |
Exalted, |
the Most High. |
Supply us also with that which is best for us, |
and |
write us down with such of Thy servants as have repudiated the Idol (Mírzá |
Yahyá), |
and firmly believed in Thee, |
and been so established on the throne |
of certitude that the whisperings of the Evil One have been powerless to |
hinder them from turning their faces towards Thy name, |
the All-Merciful. |
Powerful art Thou to do what Thou pleasest and to ordain what Thou |
willest. |
No God is there but Thee, |
the All-Possessing, |
the All-Highest, |
the Almighty, |
the All-Bountiful, |
the All-Knowing, |
the All-Wise. |
O Thou Whose remembrance is the delight of the souls of all them that |
yearn after Thee, |
Whose name is the exultation of the hearts of all who |
are wholly devoted to Thy will, |
Whose praise is cherished by such as have |
drawn nigh unto Thy court, |
Whose face is the ardent desire of all them |
that have recognized Thy truth, |
Whose trial is the healer of the |
sicknesses of them who have embraced Thy Cause, |
Whose calamity is the |
highest aspiration of such as are rid of all attachment to any one but |
Thyself! |
Glorified, |
immeasurably glorified art Thou, |
