GRATITUDE IN THE WORDS OF AMMAN JAAN 45 Shukr wa Dua ba Zubaan Hadhrat Amma Jaan Al-Hakam, 17 November 1900 Thy blessing on me, my Lord, is most unusual, How can I render thanks to Thee, O my King. Thou hast not done even a tad of injustice to me, Every cell of my body may be sacrificed for Thee. From head to toe I am seeped in Thy benevolence; Thy rain of mercy has always showered upon me. Thou hast bestowed four sons on this humble one; This is Thy grace and Thy manifest bounty. The first son is Mahmood Mubarak is the fourth; In between the two are Basheer, and Shareef of Thine. (5) Thou gave glad tidings of these four ahead of time; Thou art that Ruler Whose decree is never set aside. How can Thy graces be acknowledged, O Dear? Thy mercy on me is exceedingly great, my Belovèd. Thou hast placed me atop the royal throne; Thou hast blessed me in my worldly and religious affairs. With what tongue shall I thank Thee; where is that tongue? For I am nothing and Thy mercy is considerable. Thou gave such bounties to me that are beyond thoughts; Thy Person is Exalted Thy Palace is purified. (10) Thou selected me for Thy own Messiah This is Thy foremost grace, O my Belovèd.
