THE MIRACLE OF AHMAD تَمَادَتْ لَيَالِي الْجَوْرِ يَا رَبِّيَ انْصُرُ سَئِمْنَا تَكَالِيْفَ التَّطَاوُلِ مِنْ عِدَا We suffered hardship at the hands of our adversaries; The nights of persecution have become so long-God our Lord, pray help us! نَخِرُ أَمَامَكَ كَالْمَسَاكِينِ فَاغْفِرُ وَجِئْنَاكَ كَالْمَوْتَى فَأَحْيِ أُمُوْرَنَا We have come to You as dead. Pray, breathe new life into our deeds; Like the meek and humble, we prostrate ourselves before You. Pray, grant us forgiveness. وَمَا أَنْ أَرَى خُلْدًا كَمِثْلِكَ يُثْمِرُ إِلهِي فَدَتْكَ النَّفْسُ إِنَّكَ جَنَّتِي My God! I may sacrifice my life for Your sake! You are my Paradise; I have not witnessed a paradise that bears fruits as You do. فَأَنْتَ لَنَا حِبُّ فَرِيدٌ وَمُؤْتَرُ طُرِدْنَا لِوَجْهِكَ مِنْ مَّجَالِسِ قَوْمِنَا For Your sake we have been expelled from the councils of our people. You are our Sole Friend, who we have preferred to all. إِلهِي بِوَجْهِكَ أَدْرِكِ الْعَبْدَ رَحْمَةً وَلَيْسَ لَنَا بَابٌ سِوَاكَ وَمَعْبَرُ My Lord! I beg You in the name of Your blessed countenance to pray to take care of Your servant; There is not a shelter for me or recourse other than You. 85
