Praise be to Thee, O Lord my God! I implore
Thee, by Thy Name which none hath befittingly
recognized, and whose import no soul
hath fathomed; I beseech Thee, by Him Who is
the Fountainhead of Thy Revelation and the Dayspring
of Thy signs, to make my heart to be a receptacle
of Thy love and of remembrance of Thee.
Knit it, then, to Thy most great Ocean, that from
it may flow out the loving waters of Thy wisdom
and the crystal streams of Thy glorification and
praise.

The limbs of my body testify to Thy unity,
and the hair of my head declareth the power of
Thy sovereignty and might. I have stood at the
door of Thy grace with utter self-effacement and
complete abnegation, and clung to the hem of Thy
bounty, and fixed mine eyes upon the horizon of
Thy gifts.

Do Thou destine for me, O my God, what becometh
the greatness of Thy majesty, and assist
me, by Thy strengthening grace, so to teach Thy
Cause that the dead may speed out of their sepulchers,
and rush forth towards Thee, trusting
wholly in Thee, and fixing their gaze upon the
orient of Thy Cause, and the dawning-place of
Thy Revelation.

Thou, verily, art the Most Powerful, the Most
High, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
