Favours of the Gracious God — Page 43
An Ode in Praise of God Almighty and the Best of Mankind, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him يَامَنُ أَحَاطَ الْخَلْقَ بِالأَلَاءِ نُثْنِي عَلَيْكَ وَلَيْسَ حَوْلُ ثَنَاءِ O You, Who encompasses creation with favours and rewards; We praise You while we lack the ability to praise You. أُنْظُرُ إِلَى بِرَحْمَةٍ وَعُطُوفَةٍ يَا مَلْجَأَي يَا كَاشِفَ الْغَمَّاءِ Look towards me with a glance of Your mercy and compassion, O my Refuge; O You Who eradicates griefs. أَنْتَ الْمَلَاذُ وَأَنْتَ كَهْفُ نُفُوسِنَا فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا وَ بَعْدَ فَنَاءِ You are the Refuge and You are the Sanctuary for our souls. In this world as well as after [our] death.
