Allāh the Exalted. A Prayer to the Creator of Heaven and Earth (Persian. Couplets). O Creator of the heaven and earth!. Open the door of mercy upon me. . You know the anguish. I hide from others. . O my Beloved, You are most Subtle and Refined;. Come and permeate my entire being;. So that Your Presence fills me. With transports of joy and delight. . And if You decline this prayer, O Pure One,. I will die of the pangs of separation;. I will cry my heart out. And the whole world will weep with me. . Whether You part from me with anger,. Or show Your countenance to me with kindness;. Whether You kill me or free me,. How can I ever stop loving You! 189 [Brāhīn-e-Aḥmadiyya, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, Vol. 1, p. 613]. O God, the Relief of my Troubles! (Persian Poem). O God, my Lord,. You alone are the Cure of my troubles!. The remedy of our cries, You alone are the balm of our lacerated souls!. And You alone are the comfort of our ailing hearts. . With Your compassion, You have borne every burden of ours;. And with Your grace our trees bear fruit and flowers. . Through sheer grace and mercy You protect us and cover our sins;. With absolute kindness, You are the Friend of the friendless.
