and loose my tongue that it may make mention of Thee and sing Thy praise. |
By Thy might, |
O my God! |
My soul is wedded to none beside Thee, |
and my |
heart seeketh none except Thine own Self. |
No God is there beside Thee, |
the All-Glorious, |
the Great Giver, |
the |
Forgiving, |
the Compassionate. |
These are, |
O my God, |
the days whereon Thou didst enjoin Thy servants to |
observe the fast. |
With it Thou didst adorn the preamble of the Book of Thy |
Laws revealed unto Thy creatures, |
and didst deck forth the Repositories of |
Thy commandments in the sight of all who are in Thy heaven and all who are |
on Thy earth. |
Thou hast endowed every hour of these days with a special |
virtue, |
inscrutable to all except Thee, |
Whose knowledge embraceth all |
created things. |
Thou hast, |
also, |
assigned unto every soul a portion of |
this virtue in accordance with the Tablet of Thy decree and the Scriptures |
of Thine irrevocable judgment. |
Every leaf of these Books and Scriptures |
Thou hast, |

the earth. |
For Thine ardent lovers Thou hast, |
according to Thy decree, |
reserved, |

eagerness to approach Thy presence and partake of Thy bounty. |
Their eyes |
have, |
at all times, |
been bent upon the Day-Spring of Thy loving-kindness, |
and their faces set towards the Fountain-Head of Thine inspiration. |
Rain |
down, |
then, |
upon us and upon them from the clouds of Thy mercy what |
beseemeth the heaven of Thy bounteousness and grace. |
Lauded be Thy name, |
O my God! |
This is the hour when Thou hast unlocked the |
doors of Thy bounty before the faces of Thy creatures, |
and opened wide the |
portals of Thy tender mercy unto all the dwellers of Thine earth. |
I |
beseech Thee, |
by all them whose blood was shed in Thy path, |
who, |
in their |
yearning over Thee, |
rid themselves from all attachment to any of Thy |
creatures, |
and who were so carried away by the sweet savors of Thine |
inspiration that every single member of their bodies intoned Thy praise |
and vibrated to Thy remembrance, |
not to withhold from us the things Thou |
hast irrevocably ordained in this Revelation--a Revelation the potency of |
which hath caused every tree to cry out what the Burning Bush had |
aforetime proclaimed unto Moses, |
Who conversed with Thee, |
a Revelation |
that hath enabled every least pebble to resound again with Thy praise, |
