"O God, my God! I have turned in repentance..."
| |
1 |
O God, my God! I have turned in repentance
unto Thee, and verily Thou art the Pardoner,
the Compassionate.
| |
2 |
O God, my God! I have returned to Thee, and
verily Thou art the the Ever-Forgiving, the Gracious.
| |
3 |
O God, my God! I have clung to the cord of
Thy bounty, and with Thee is the storehouse of
all that is in heaven and earth.
| |
4 |
O God, my God! I have hastened toward Thee,
and verily Thou art the Forgiver, the Lord of grace
abounding.
| |
5 |
O God, my God! I thirst for the celestial wine
of Thy grace, and verily Thou art the Giver, the
Bountiful, the Gracious, the Almighty.
| |
6 |
O God, my God! I testify that Thou hast revealed
Thy Cause, fulfilled Thy promise and sent
down from the heaven of Thy grace that which
hath drawn unto Thee the hearts of Thy favored
ones. Well is it with him that hath held fast unto
Thy firm cord and clung to the hem of Thy resplendent
robe!
| |
7 |
I ask Thee, O Lord of all being and King of the
seen and unseen, by Thy power, Thy majesty and
Thy sovereignty, to grant that my name my be
recorded by Thy pen of glory among Thy devoted
ones, them whom the scrolls of the sinful
hindered not from turning to the light of Thy
countenance, O prayer-hearing, prayer-answering
God!
