X: "O Thou Whose face is the object of the adoration..."
| |
1 |
O Thou Whose face is the object of the adoration of all that yearn after Thee, Whose presence is the
hope of such as are wholly devoted to Thy will,
Whose nearness is the desire of all that have drawn
nigh unto Thy court, Whose countenance is the companion
of those who have recognized Thy truth,
Whose name is the mover of the souls that long to
behold Thy face, Whose voice is the true life of Thy
lovers, the words of Whose mouth are as the waters
of life unto all who are in heaven and on earth!

2 |
I beseech Thee, by the wrong Thou hast suffered
and the ills inflicted upon Thee by the hosts of wrongful
doers, to send down upon me from the clouds of
Thy mercy that which will purify me of all that is
not of Thee, that I may be worthy to praise Thee and
fit to love Thee.

3 |
Withhold not from me, O my Lord, the things
Thou didst ordain for such of Thy handmaidens as
circle around Thee, and on whom are poured continually
the splendors of the sun of Thy beauty and
the beams of the brightness of Thy face. Thou art
He Who from everlasting hath succored whosoever
hath sought Thee, and bountifully favored him who
hath asked Thee.

No God is there beside Thee, the Mighty, the Ever-Abiding,
the All-Bounteous, the Most Generous.
