165: O my God! O my God! Verily Thy servant, ...

O my God! O my God! Verily Thy servant, humble before the majesty of Thy divine supremacy,
lowly at the door of Thy oneness, hath believed in Thee
|
3 |
and in Thy verses, hath testified to Thy word, hath been
|
4 |
enkindled with the fire of Thy love, hath been immersed
in the depths of the ocean of Thy knowledge, hath been
|
5 |
attracted by Thy breezes, hath relied upon Thee, hath
turned his face to Thee, hath offered his supplications to
|
6 |
Thee, and hath been assured of Thy pardon and forgiveness.
He hath abandoned this mortal life and hath flown
|
7 |
to the kingdom of immortality, yearning for the favour
of meeting Thee.
O Lord, glorify his station, shelter him under the pavilion of Thy supreme mercy, cause him to enter Thy
glorious paradise, and perpetuate his existence in Thine
exalted rose garden, that he may plunge into the sea of
light in the world of mysteries.
|
8 |
Verily, Thou art the Generous, the Powerful, the
Forgiver and the Bestower.

O thou assured soul, thou maidservant of God...!
Be not grieved at the death of thy respected husband. He
hath, verily, attained the meeting of his Lord at the seat of
Truth in the presence of the potent King. Do not suppose
that thou hast lost him. The veil shall be lifted and thou
shalt behold his face illumined in the Supreme Concourse.
Just as God, the Exalted, hath said, `Him will we surely
quicken to a happy life.' Supreme importance should be
attached, therefore, not to this first creation but rather to
the future life.
