We beg for Your forgiveness while beseeching Your help— for- give us, therefore. ۡ ۡ تَرُدُّنِي ٍ یَااِلٰھِي ِّ بَاب اَي اِلٰی ۡ ۡ تَرُدُّنِي ٍ یَااِلٰھِي ِّ بَاب اَي اِلٰی اَتَتۡرُکُنِي ۡ فِي کَف ِّ خَصۡم ٍ مُخَسّرِي اَتَتۡرُکُنِي ۡ فِي کَف ِّ خَصۡم ٍ مُخَسّرِي Through which door—O my God—will You suffer me to pass? Will You forsake me in the grip of the bloodthirsty enemy? اِلٰھِی ۡ فَدَتۡك َ النَّفۡس ُ اَنۡت َ مَقَاصِدِي ِ اِلٰھِی ۡ فَدَتۡك َ النَّفۡس ُ اَنۡت َ مَقَاصِدِي ن ۡ لَّدُنۡك َ وَبَشِّر ِّ ِ تَعَال َ بِفَضۡل ٍ م ن ۡ لَّدُنۡك َ وَبَشِّر ِّ تَعَال َ بِفَضۡل ٍ م O my God! May my life be sacrificed for You—You are my ulti- mate pursuit. Come with Your grace and give us glad tidings. ً َ تُکَلِّم ُ رَحۡمَۃ اْل ۡ أَاَعۡرَضۡت َ عَنِّي ً َ تُکَلِّم ُ رَحۡمَۃ اْل ۡ ۡأَاَعۡرَضۡت َ عَنِّي ۡوَقَدۡ کُنۡتَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِ الۡمَصَائِبِ مُخۡبِرِي وَقَدۡ کُنۡتَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِ الۡمَصَائِبِ مُخۡبِرِي Have You turned away from me and stopped speaking mercifully to me? Did you not tell me about the calamities beforehand? ً وَکَیۡف َ اَظُن ۡ زَوَال َ حُبِّك َ طَرۡفَۃ ً ِوَکَیۡف َ اَظُن ۡ زَوَال َ حُبِّك َ طَرۡفَۃ َ الۡمُتَکَثِّر ۡ حُبُّك ُ قَلۡبِي ِوَیَأۡطِر َ الۡمُتَکَثِّر ۡ حُبُّك ُ قَلۡبِي وَیَأۡطِر How can I even imagine losing your affection, When Your abundant love is forever drawing my heart to itself ? ٍ وَجَدۡت ُّ السَّعَادَۃ َ کُلَّھَا فِي اِطَاعَۃ ٍ ِوَجَدۡت ُّ السَّعَادَۃ َ کُلَّھَا فِي اِطَاعَۃ ِ مِن ۡ خُلُوۡص ٍ وَّیَسِّر ِٰخِر مِن ۡ خُلُوۡص ٍ وَّیَسِّر اْل ۡ فَوَفِّق ِٰخِر اْل ۡ فَوَفِّق I found all happiness in obedience; So grant me the best of sincerity and facility.
