بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم. الحمد لله الذی هو کائن قبل کل شیء و لا یکون شیء معه و کان موجوداً حین لا وجود لشیء لدیه الذی قد قصدت افئده العارفین عن معرفة ادنی وصفه |
Praise be to God Who existed ere all things were brought into being, and with Whom nothing can be compared. He was manifest when there was none other to contemplate His reality. He is the One Whose essence the hearts of the knowing have longed to fathom, yet fail utterly to apprehend even the most infinitesimal glimpse of His attributes [4o]... …The glory of glories and the most resplendent light rest upon Thee, O my God. Thy majesty is so transcendent… O my God, my Lord and my Master! I have detached myself… I adjure Thee by Thy might, O my God!... O My God, O my Lord, O my Master! I beg Thee to forgive me |
