O God, O God! We are Thy humble and submissive
servants, leaves of Thine exalted and verdant
paradise, drops from the basins of Thine abundant
mercy, and scattered particles flying about in Thy shining

O Lord, O Lord, render us successful through Thy
conquering power, in that which Thou lovest and approvest,
so that we may become standards of guidance,
signs of Thy Kingdom, the El-ABHA [and that we
may] adore Thee, supplicate before the Kingdom of
Thy mercy, beseech Thy realm of might, be submissive
to Thy servants, humble before Thy maid-servants,
severed from aught else save Thee, sincerely turned
unto Thy face, aflame with the fire of Thy love, diffusing
Thy fragrances, united in Thy Cause, of one accord
in Thy religion, and firm in Thy Covenant. O God,
strengthen us through the fragrances of Thy sanctity,
that we may become sanctified from the stain of egotism
and lust, baptized with Thy Holy Spirit, with the fire
of Thy love and the water of Thy bounty.

Verily, Thou art the Bestower, the Assister, the
Confirmer, the Beneficent, the Merciful!
