Glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! Thou art He the fire of Whose love hath
set ablaze the hearts of them who have recognized Thy unity, and the
splendors of Whose countenance have illuminated the faces of such as have
drawn nigh unto Thy court. How plenteous, O my God, is the stream of Thy
knowledge! How sweet, O my Beloved, is the injury which, in my love for
Thee, and for the sake of Thy pleasure, I suffer from the darts of the
wicked doers! How pleasing are the wounds which, in Thy path and in order
to proclaim Thy Faith, I sustain from the swords of the infidels!
I beseech Thee, by Thy name through which Thou turnest restlessness into
tranquillity, fear into confidence, weakness into strength, and abasement
into glory, that Thou of Thy grace wilt aid me and Thy servants to exalt
Thy name, to deliver Thy Message, and to proclaim Thy Cause, in such wise
that we may remain unmoved by either the assaults of the transgressors or
the wrath of the infidels, O Thou Who art my Well-Beloved!
I am, O my Lord, Thy handmaiden, who hath hearkened to Thy call, and
hastened unto Thee, fleeing from herself and resting her heart upon Thee.
I implore Thee, O my Lord, by Thy name out of which all the treasures of
the earth were brought forth, to shield me from the hints of such as have
disbelieved in Thee and repudiated Thy truth.
Powerful art Thou to do what Thou pleasest. Thou art, verily, the
All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
