O my God! O my God! Glory be unto Thee for that
Thou hast confirmed me to the confession of Thy Oneness,
attracted me unto the word of Thy Singleness,
enkindled me by the fire of Thy love, and occupied me
with Thy mention and the service of Thy friends and
maid-servants.

O Lord, help me to be meek and lowly and strengthen
me in severing myself from all things and in holding
to the hem of the garment of Thy Glory, so that my
heart may be filled with Thy love and leave no space
for the love of the world and the attachment to its
qualities.

me from the dross of sins and transgressions and cause
me to possess a spiritual heart and conscience.

Generous, the Helper.
