His Supplication in Satisfaction with the Decree
His Supplication in Satisfaction when he Looked
upon the Companions of this World
|
| 1 |
Praise belongs to God
in
satisfaction with God's decision!
I bear witness that
God
has apportioned the livelihoods of His servants with justice
and
undertaken bounty for all His creatures. |
| 2 |
O God,
bless Muhammad and his
Household,
tempt me not with what Thou
hast given to Thy creatures
and tempt them not with what
Thou hast withheld from me.
Lest
I envy Thy creatures
and
despise Thy decision! |
| 3 |
O God,
bless Muhammad and his
Household,
delight my soul through Thy
decree,
expand my breast through the
instances of Thy decision,
give to me a trust through
which I may admit
that
Thy decree runs only to the best,
and let my gratitude to Thee
for
what Thou hast taken away from me
be
more abundant than my gratitude to Thee
for
what Thou hast conferred upon me! |
| 4 |
Preserve
me from imagining any meanness
in
someone who is destitute
or
imagining any superiority
in
someone who possesses wealth,
for the noble is he
whom
obedience to Thee has ennobled
and
the exalted is he
whom
worship of Thee has exalted! |
| 5 |
So bless Muhammad and his Household,
give us to enjoy a wealth
which
does not run out,
confirm us with an exaltation
which
will never be lost,
and let us roam freely
in
the kingdom of everlastingness!
Surely Thou art the One, the
Unique, the Eternal Refuge;
Thou
hast not begotten,
nor
hast Thou been begotten,
and
equal to Thee is not any one!144 |
