1. My God, Thou hast settled us in an abode
which has dug for us pits of deception, and Thou hast fastened us by the
hands of death in the snares of that abode's treachery! In Thee we seek
asylum from the tricks of its guile, and to Thee we hold fast, lest we be
deluded by the glitter of its ornaments! It destroys its pursuers and
ruins its settlers,
it is stuffed with blights and loaded with calamities.
2. My God, induce us to renounce it and keep us
safe from it by Thy giving success and Thy preservation from sin. Strip
from us the robes of opposing Thee, attend to our affairs through Thy good
sufficiency, amplify our increase from the boundless plenty of Thy mercy,
be liberal in our gifts from the overflow of Thy grants, plant in our
hearts the trees of Thy love, complete for us the lights of Thy knowledge,
give us to taste the sweetness of Thy pardon and the pleasure of Thy
forgiveness, gladden our eyes on the day of meeting Thee with the vision
of Thee, dislodge the love of this world from our spirits, just as Thou
hast done for the righteous, Thy selected friends, and for the pious,
those whom Thou hast singled out! O Most Merciful of the merciful, O Most
Generous of the most generous! |
