"O maid-servant of God!..."
| |
1 |
O maid-servant of God!
| |
2 |
Thank God for choosing thee, saving thee and granting
thee of these great blessings and glorious attainments.
Verily, thy Lord shall confirm thee in that
which shall surprise the minds, through the glowing of
its love and the manifestations of the signs of its favors.
It is incumbent upon thee to be pure and holy. It is
incumbent upon thee to be severed from all else save
thy Lord. Confine thy attention and thoughts to the
Cause of thy great Lord and to diffusing His fragrances
in that country.

O maid-servant of God! Commune with thy Lord,
saying:
| |
4 |
O my God! my God! Thanks be to Thee for guiding
me unto Thy Kingdom, for opening before my face
the door of Thy guidance, enlightening my eyes with
beholding Thy signs, and filling my heart with the feelings
of Thy love.
| |
5 |
O Lord! O Lord! Make me severed from the
world and void of its conditions, attracted by the fragrances
of Thy holiness among Thy maid-servants,
free in heart, happy in soul, cheerful in mind, longing
for the Kingdom of Thy Beauty, and glowing with the
fire of Thy love in the world. Thus may I enkindle
the light of guidance in the hearts of Thy servants.

Verily, Thou art the Powerful, the Bestower, the
Precious, the Mighty!
