Glorified art Thou,
|
O Lord my God!
|
Every man of insight confesseth Thy
|
sovereignty and Thy dominion,
|
and every discerning eye perceiveth the
|
greatness of Thy majesty and the compelling power of Thy might.
|
The winds
|
of tests are powerless to hold back them that enjoy near access to Thee
|
from setting their faces towards the horizon of Thy glory,
|
and the
|
tempests of trials must fail to draw away and hinder such as are wholly
|
devoted to Thy will from approaching Thy court.
|
Methinks,
|
the lamp of Thy love is burning in their hearts,
|
and the light
|
of Thy tenderness is lit within their breasts.
|
Adversities are incapable
|
of estranging them from Thy Cause,
|
and the vicissitudes of fortune can
|
never cause them to stray from Thy pleasure.
|
I beseech Thee,
|
O my God,
|
by them and by the sighs which their hearts
|
utter in their separation from Thee,
|
to keep them safe from the mischief
|
of Thine adversaries,
|
and to nourish their souls with what Thou hast
|
ordained for Thy loved ones on whom shall come no fear and who shall not
|
be put to grief.
|
Unto Thee be praise,
|
O Lord my God!
|
I entreat Thee,
|
by Thy signs that have
|
encompassed the entire creation,
|
and by the light of Thy countenance that
|
hath illuminated all that are in heaven and on earth,
|
and by Thy mercy
|
that hath surpassed all created things,
|
and by Thy grace that hath
|
suffused the whole universe,
|
to rend asunder the veils that shut me out
|
from Thee,
|
that I may hasten unto the Fountain-Head of Thy mighty
|
inspiration,
|
and to the Day-Spring of Thy Revelation and bountiful favors,
|
and may be immersed beneath the ocean of Thy nearness and pleasure.
|
Suffer me not,
|
O my Lord,
|
to be deprived of the knowledge of Thee in Thy
|
days,
|
and divest me not of the robe of Thy guidance.
|
Give me to drink of
|
the river that is life indeed,
|
whose waters have streamed forth from the
|
Paradise (Ridván) in which the throne of Thy Name,
|
the All-Merciful,
|
was
|
established,
|
that mine eyes may be opened,
|
and my face be illumined,
|
and
|
my heart be assured,
|
and my soul be enlightened,
|
and my steps be made
|
firm.
|
Thou art He Who from everlasting was,
|
through the potency of His might,
|
supreme over all things,
|
and,
|
through the operation of His will,
|
was able
|
to ordain all things.
|
Nothing whatsoever,
|
whether in Thy heaven or on Thy
|
earth,
|
can frustrate Thy purpose.
