for love of Thee, |
have observed all |
whereunto they were bidden, |
to remove the veils that have come in between |
Thee and Thy creatures, |
and to supply me with the good of this world and |
the world to come. |
Thou art, |
in truth, |
the Almighty, |
the Most Exalted, |
the |
All-Glorious, |
the Ever-Forgiving, |
the Most Compassionate. |
Bless Thou, |
O Lord my God, |
the Divine Lote-Tree and its leaves, |
and its |
boughs, |
and its branches, |
and its stems, |
and its offshoots, |
as long as Thy |
most excellent titles will endure and Thy most august attributes will |
last. |
Protect it, |
then, |
from the mischief of the aggressor and the hosts |
of tyranny. |
Thou art, |
in truth, |
the Almighty, |
the Most Powerful. |
Bless |
Thou, |
also, |
O Lord my God, |
Thy servants and Thy handmaidens who have |
attained unto Thee. |
Thou, |
truly, |
art the All-Bountiful, |
Whose grace is |
infinite. |
No God is there save Thee, |
the Ever-Forgiving, |
the Most |
Generous. |
I bear witness, |
O my God, |
that Thou hast created me to know Thee and to |
worship Thee. |
I testify, |
at this moment, |
to my powerlessness and to Thy |
might, |
to my poverty and to Thy wealth. |
There is none other God but Thee, |
the Help in Peril, |
the Self-Subsisting. |
Strengthen my hand, |
O my God, |
that it may take hold of Thy Book with such |
steadfastness that the hosts of the world shall have no power over it. |
Guard it, |
then, |
from meddling with whatsoever doth not belong unto it. |
Thou art, |
verily, |
the Almighty, |
the Most Powerful. |
I have turned my face unto Thee, |
