Have mercy, |
then, |
upon me, |
O my Lord, |
through Thy gracious providence and generosity, |
and incline mine ear to |
the sweet melodies of the birds that warble their praise of Thee, |
amidst |
the branches of the tree of Thy oneness. |
Thou art the Great Giver, |
the Ever-Forgiving, |
the Most Compassionate. |
Glorified art Thou, |
O Lord my God! |
I beseech Thee by Him Who is Thy Most |
Great Name, |
Who hath been sorely afflicted by such of Thy creatures as |
have repudiated Thy truth, |
and Who hath been hemmed in by sorrows which no |
tongue can describe, |
to grant that I may remember Thee and celebrate Thy |
praise, |
in these days when all have turned away from Thy beauty, |
have |
disputed with Thee, |
and turned away disdainfully from Him Who is the |
Revealer of Thy Cause. |
None is there, |
O my Lord, |
to help Thee except Thine |
own Self, |
and no power to succor Thee save Thine own power. |
I entreat Thee to enable me to cleave steadfastly to Thy Love and Thy |
remembrance. |
This is, |
verily, |
within my power, |
and Thou art the One that |
knoweth all that is in me. |
Thou, |
in truth, |
art knowing, |
apprised of all. |
Deprive me not, |
O my Lord, |
of the splendors of the light of Thy face, |
whose brightness hath illuminated the whole world. |
No God is there beside |
Thee, |
the Most Powerful, |
the All-Glorious, |
the Ever-Forgiving. |
Magnified be Thy name, |
O Lord my God! |
Thou art He Whom all things worship |
and Who worshipeth no one, |
Who is the Lord of all things and is the vassal |
of none, |
Who knoweth all things and is known of none. |
Thou didst wish to |
make Thyself known unto men; |
therefore, |
Thou didst, |
through a word of Thy |
mouth, |
bring creation into being and fashion the universe. |
There is none |
other God except Thee, |
the Fashioner, |
the Creator, |
the Almighty, |
the Most |
Powerful. |
