XC: "Glorified art Thou, O my God! Thou knowest that..."
| |
1 |
Glorified art Thou, O my God! Thou knowest that in my love for Thee I have not sought any rest, that
in proclaiming Thy Cause I have denied myself every
manner of tranquillity, and that in the observance of
whatever Thou hast prescribed in Thy Tablets I have
not delayed to do Thy bidding. I have, for this reason,
suffered what no man among all the inhabitants of
Thy realm hath suffered.
| |
2 |
Thy glory beareth me witness! Nothing whatsoever
can withhold me from remembering Thee, though all
the tribulations of the earth were to assault me from
every direction. All the limbs and members of my
body proclaim their readiness to be torn asunder in
Thy path and for the sake of Thy pleasure, and they
yearn to be scattered in the dust before Thee. O
would that they who serve Thee could taste what I
have tasted of the sweetness of Thy love!
| |
3 |
I implore Thee to supply whosoever hath sought
Thee with the living waters of Thy bounty, that they
may rid him of all attachment to any one but Thee.
Thou art, verily, the Omniscient, the All-Glorious,
the Almighty.
