Verily, Thou knowest all things, while we are but Thy servants,
Thy thralls, Thy bondsmen and Thy poor ones. No Lord but Thee do we
invoke, O God our Lord, nor do we implore blessings or grace from anyone
but Thee, O Thou Who art the God of mercy unto this world and the next. We
are but the embodiments of poverty, of nothingness, of helplessness and of
perdition, while Thy whole Being betokeneth wealth, independence, glory,
majesty and boundless grace.
Turn our recompense, O Lord, into that which well beseemeth Thee of the
good of this world and of the next, and of the manifold bounties which
extend from on high down to the earth below.
Verily, Thou art our Lord and the Lord of all things. Into Thy hands do we
surrender ourselves, yearning for the things that pertain unto Thee.
--The Bab
"O Lord! Enable all the peoples of the earth to..."
O Lord! Enable all the peoples of the earth to gain admittance into the
Paradise of Thy Faith, so that no created being may remain beyond the
bounds of Thy good-pleasure.
From time immemorial Thou hast been potent to do what pleaseth Thee and
transcendent above whatsoever Thou desirest.
