O my God,
it beseemeth not to claim
to be related to Thee,
inasmuch as our misdeeds and our waywardness have
hindered us from reaching the depths of the ocean of Thy oneness,
and from
immersing ourselves beneath the waters of Thy transcendent mercy,
yet our
tongues,
O my God,
bear witness,
and our hearts testify,
and our limbs
confess that Thy mercy hath enveloped all created things and Thy
compassion surpassed all that are in heaven and all that are on earth.
I beseech Thee,
by Thy Most Great Name,
through which all created things
were rent asunder and the whole creation was shaken,
to send down from the
clouds of Thy mercy that which will purge them from every ordeal and from
whatever is hateful to Thee.
Raise them up,
then,
to such heights that no
amount of tribulation will keep them back from Thy wondrous remembrance,
nor any trouble hinder them from turning toward the court of Thy
transcendent oneness.
By Thy might,
O Well-Beloved of Bahá and His heart's Desire!
I myself cry
out,
under all conditions,
unto Thee saying:
"Would I had,
ere this day,
drawn nigh unto Thee!
" When I hear,
however,
the sighs of such of Thy
people as are wholly devoted to Thee,
and those of Thy servants as enjoy
near access to Thy court,
who have taken no other friend than Thee,
and
sought no refuge except Thee,
and have chosen for themselves,
in Thy path,
what no man hath chosen in the days of the Manifestations of Thy
transcendent unity and the Day-Springs of Thy most holy sovereignty,
then
my heart is saddened and my soul is vexed,
and I cry to Thee,
imploring
Thee to protect them,
by Thy power that hath encompassed the entire
creation both visible and invisible,
from whatsoever may be abhorrent to
Thee.
This is not for their own sakes,
but that Thy name may,
through
them,
abide amongst Thy servants,
and Thy remembrance may continue to
endure in Thy dominions.
Thou knowest,
O my God,
that all Thy servants have turned back from Thee
and risen up against Thee.
Thou knowest that Thou hast no one to obey Thee
except them and such as have believed in Thy Revelation,
through which the
foundations of the entire universe have been shaken,
and the souls of all
men have trembled,
and all that lay asleep were quickened.
Thou art,
O my
God,
the God of bounty,
Whose grace is immense.
Send down,
then,
upon them that which will assure their hearts,
and quiet
their souls,
and renew their spirits,
and refresh their bodies.
