FAVOURS OF THE GRACIOUS GOD يَاكَنُزَنِعَمِ اللهِ وَالأَلَاءِ يَسْعَى إِلَيْكَ الْخَلْقُ لِلْإِرْكَـاءِ O you who are the treasure trove of Allah's favours and munificence! Creation rushes towards you to seek refuge. يَابَدْرَ نُورِ اللَّهِ وَالْعِرْفَانِ تَهْوِي إِلَيْكَ قُلُوْبُ أَهْلِ صَفَاءِ O you who are the full-moon of Allah's Light and divine knowledge! People with purified hearts hurriedly flock towards you. يَا شَمُسَنَا يَا مَبْدَءَ الْأَنْوَارِ نَوَّرُتَ وَجُهَ الْمُدْنِ وَالْبَيْدَاءِ O our Sun, O spring of Divine light! You have illuminated the faces of cities as well as the wildernesses. إِنِّي أَرَى فِي وَجْهِكَ الْمُتَهَلِّلِ شَانًا يَفُوقَ شُيُونَ وَجُهِ ذُكَاءِ I certainly see such glory in your radiant face, Which transcends the brilliance in the face of the Sun. مَا جِتَنَا فِي غَيْرِ وَقْتِ ضَرُورَةٍ قَدْ جِئْتَ مِثْلَ الْمُزْنِ فِي الرَّمْضَاءِ You have not come to us but in the hour of need; Your arrival is like that of a downpour in a season of sweltering heat. 54
