O God,
to Thee belongs praise for Thy
excellent accomplishment
and
for Thy trial which Thou hast turned away from me!
But make not my share of Thy
mercy
the
well-being which Thou hast quickly granted to me,
lest I become wretched through
what I have loved
and
someone else gain felicity through what I have disliked!96

If this well-being in which 1 pass the day or night
should precede
a trial that does not cease
and
a burden that does not pass away,
then set before me what Thou
hadst set behind
and
set behind me what Thou hadst set before! |

For
that which ends in annihilation is not great
and
that which ends in subsistence is not little.
And bless Muhammad and his
Household! |
