A Supplication and Magnification by him (upon him be peace)
|
| \1 |
Praise belongs to God, who
disclosed Himself to hearts
through mightiness,
veiled Himself from eyes
through might,
and exercises power over the
things through power! |
| 2 |
Eyes are not firm enough to see Him
and imaginations reach not the
core of His mightiness. |
| 3 |
He displays His overwhelming power in mightiness
and magnificence,
robes Himself in might,
goodness, and majesty,
is far removed from
imperfection through comeliness and beauty,
assumes His glory in pride and
splendour,
puts on His majesty through
glory and boons,
and has chosen for Himself
light and radiance. |
| 4 |
He is a Creator who has no equal,
a Unique who has no rival,
a One who has no opposite,
an Eternal Refuge who has no
match,
a God who has no second,
an Initiator who has no
partner,
a Provider who has no helper. |
| 5 |
He is the First without disappearance,
the Everlasting without
annihilation,
the Standing without
difficulty,
the Security-giver without
end,
the Originator without term,
the Maker without anything,
the Lord without partner,
the Initiator without
discomfort,
the Accomplisher without
incapacity. |
| 6 |
He has no bound in space
and
no limit in time;
He ever was,
He
ever is,
He
ever will be the same,
endlessly.
He is God,
the
Living, the Self-subsistent,
the
Everlasting, the Eternal,
the
All-powerful, the All-wise. |
| 7 |
My God,
Thy little slave is in Thy
courtyard,
Thy beggar is in Thy
courtyard,
Thy poor one is in Thy
courtyard! |
|
|
THIS VERSE SHOULD BE SAID THREE
TIMES |
| 8 |
My God,
before Thee tremble the pious
tremblers,
to Thee devote themselves the
lamenters,
in
fear of Thee,
in
hope of Thee! |
| 9 |
O God of Truth,
have mercy upon the
supplication
of
those who cry for help!
Pardon the sins
of
the heedless!
And increase beneficence
toward
those who keep turning [to Thee]
on
the Day they arrive before Thee,
O Generous God! |
