1 |
Whoso reciteth this prayer with lowliness and fervour will bring gladness and joy to the heart of this Servant; it will be even as meeting Him face
to face.

He is the All-Glorious!

O God, my God! Lowly and tearful, I raise my suppliant
hands to Thee and cover my face in the dust of that
Threshold of Thine, exalted above the knowledge of the
learned, and the praise of all that glorify Thee. Graciously
look upon Thy servant, humble and lowly at Thy door,
with the glances of the eye of Thy mercy, and immerse
him in the Ocean of Thine eternal grace.
|
4 |
Lord! He is a poor and lowly servant of Thine, enthralled
and imploring Thee, captive in Thy hand, praying
fervently to Thee, trusting in Thee, in tears before Thy
face, calling to Thee and beseeching Thee, saying:
|
5 |
O Lord, my God! Give me Thy grace to serve Thy
loved ones, strengthen me in my servitude to Thee, illumine
my brow with the light of adoration in Thy court of
holiness, and of prayer to Thy Kingdom of grandeur. Help
me to be selfless at the heavenly entrance of Thy gate, and
aid me to be detached from all things within Thy holy
precincts. Lord! Give me to drink from the chalice of selflessness;
with its robe clothe me, and in its ocean immerse
me. Make me as dust in the pathway of Thy loved ones,
and grant that I may offer up my soul for the earth ennobled
by the footsteps of Thy chosen ones in Thy path,
O Lord of Glory in the Highest.

With this prayer doth Thy servant call Thee, at dawntide
and in the night-season. Fulfil his heart's desire, O
Lord! Illumine his heart, gladden his bosom, kindle his
light, that he may serve Thy Cause and Thy servants.
|
7 |
Thou art the Bestower, the Pitiful, the Most Bountiful,
the Gracious, the Merciful, the Compassionate.
