FAVOURS OF THE GRACIOUS GOD إِنَّا رَأَيْنَا فِي الظَّلامِ مُصِيبَةً فَارْحَمْ وَأَنْزِلْنَا بِدَارِ ضِيَاءِ We have witnessed the calamity during darkness; So, have mercy on us, and make us disembark in the house of Light. تَعْفُوا عَنِ الذَّنْبِ العَظِيمِ بِتَوْبَةٍ تُنْجِي رِقَابَ النَّاسِ مِنْ أَعْبَاءِ You forgive major sins upon repentance; You relieve the necks of people from heavy burdens. أَنْتَ الْمُرَادُ وَ أَنْتَ مَطْلَبُ مُهْجَتِى وَعَلَيْكَ كُلُّ تَوَكَّلِي وَرَجَائِي You are my purpose and You are the One sought by my soul; And it is in You I repose my entire trust and hope. اَعْطَيْتَنِي كَأْسَ الْمَحَبَّةِ رَيْقَهَا فَشَرِبُتُ رَوْحَاءً عَلَى رَوْحَاءِ You granted me the goblet of the finest wine of love; Therefore, I drank goblets upon goblets of it. إِنِّي أَمُوتُ وَلَا يَمُوتُ مَحَبَّتِى يُدْرَى بِذِكْرِكَ فِي التَّرَابِ نِدَائِي Surely I shall die but my love shall never perish; Even in the dust of my grave, my voice will be recognised owing to your Your remembrance. 44
