turned aside from Him Who is the Day-Spring of Thy signs.
I beseech Thee,
O Thou Who art the Lord of all names and the Creator of the heavens,
to
aid them to act equitably in Thy Cause,
that haply they may discover the
sweet smell of the robe of Thy mercy,
and set their faces towards the
horizon that shineth with the brightness of the light of Thy face.
Weak
are they,
O my Lord,
and Thou art the Lord of strength and power.
They are
but paupers,
and Thou art the All-Possessing,
the Most Generous.
Thou art well aware,
O my God,
that throughout my life I have sought no
advantage for myself.
I have offered up my spirit and my whole being for
the exaltation of Thy word amidst Thy creatures and the glorification of
Thy name among Thy servants.
Thou didst send me with such a Testimony that
They Who are the Exponents of Thy Revelation and the Day-Springs of Thine
inspiration were stirred up with vehement longing.
Through it,
Thy proof
was established,
and Thy bounty fulfilled,
and Thy Cause perfected,
and
Thine utterances released,
and Thy clear tokens uncovered.
Thou knowest,
O my God,
that I have wished only what Thou hast wished,
and

the oppressors among
Thy people would cavil at me.
And were I to hold my peace and cease to
celebrate the wonders of Thy praise,
all the limbs of my body would be
stirred up to extol Thee.
I know not what the water is with which Thou
didst create me,
or what the fire Thou didst kindle within me.
I swear by
Thy glory!
I shall not cease to mention Thee,
though all that are in Thy
heaven and on Thy earth rise up against me.
Thee will I magnify,
in all
circumstances,
with a heart wholly rid of all attachment to the world and
all that is therein.
Praised be Thou,
the Well-Beloved of the hearts of all such as have
recognized Thee.
Lauded be Thy name,
O Lord my God!
Thou beholdest how my gaze is fixed
toward Thy tender mercies,
and how mine eyes are bent upon the horizon of
Thy grace,
and Thy loving-kindness,
and how my hands are stretched out
unto the heaven of Thy bestowals.
Thy might beareth me witness!
Every limb
of my body crieth out to Thee and saith:
"O Thou Who art the Well-Beloved
of the worlds,
and the Lord of all that are in heaven and on earth,
and
the one Desire of the hearts which are devoted to Thee!
I implore Thee,
