The Whispered Prayer of those Asking for Mediation |
In the Name of God, the
All-merciful,
the All-compassionate
|
| 1 |
My God,
I have no mediation with Thee
but
the tender acts of Thy clemency,
nor any way to come to Thee
but
the gentle favours of Thy mercy
and
the intercession of Thy Prophet,
the
prophet of mercy,
who
rescued the community from confusion.
Make these two my tie to
attaining Thy forgiveness
and
let them take me to triumph through Thy good pleasure!
My hope has dismounted
in
the sacred precinct of Thy generosity,
my
craving has alighted
in
the courtyard of Thy munificence.
So actualize my expectation
from Thee,
seal
my works with good,
and
place me among Thy selected friends, those
whom
Thou hast set down
in
the midst of Thy Garden,
and
settled in the abode of Thy honour,
whose
eyes Thou hast gladdened
by
gazing upon Thee
on
the day of meeting Thee,
and
whom Thou hast made heirs to
the
sure stations in Thy neighbourhood! |

O He
none more generous than whom
is reached by the reachers
and
none more merciful than whom is found by the aimers!
O Best of those with whom the
lonely are alone,
O
Tenderest of those with whom outcasts seek haven!
Toward the expanse of Thy
pardon have I extended my hand,
upon
the skirt of Thy generosity have I fastened my grasp!
Show me no deprivation
and
afflict me not with disappointment and loss!
O Hearer of supplications!
O
Most Merciful of the merciful! |
