“O my Lord! O my Lord!…” |
Verily, I am one of Thy maid-servants, supplicating
humbly before the Door of Thy Singleness, beseeching
and humbling myself to Thee! O my Lord! Thanks
be unto Thee for Thy greatest guidance and Thy greatest
favor, which Thou hast assigned unto me and unto
Thy worshipping maid-servants, whom Thou hast
chosen to enter Thine exalted Kingdom and abide in
Thy Paradise of El-Abha. O my Lord! Sanctify me
from every worldly station in this primal life and purify
me from all else save Thee, O Thou Great Giver!
Exhilarate me with the wine of Thy love, O Thou Brilliant
Countenance! Intoxicate me with the wine of
616
sanctity, purity, unity and singleness, O Thou who attractest
the hearts of the righteous by the magnet of
favors, unto the Kingdom of El-Abha! O my Lord!
Cause me to speak Thy praise, illumine my sight
through the light of Thy knowledge, cause me to hear
Thy Call, and quicken me with the spirit of Thy grace.
Make me rejoiced at the melodies of the birds of Thy
holiness, and make me a servant to Thy maid-servants.
Cause my soul to be tranquilized, my heart attached,
and my mind drawn to the light of thy guidance,
which is shining unto all regions; so that I may walk
in the path of Thy good pleasure, yield to Thy decree
and be rejoiced at the most violent calamities, and that
my breast may become dilated during every tribulation,
even though the suffering is beyond endurance. Verily,
thou art the Holy, the Pure, the Potent, the Powerful,
the Exalted, the Great!
