O God, O God! We are Thy humble and submissive servants,
leaves of Thine exalted and verdant paradise, drops from the basins of Thine
abundant mercy, and scattered particles flying about in Thy shining rays.
O Lord, O Lord, render us successful through Thy conquering
power, in that which Thou lovest and approvest, so that we may become standards
of guidance, signs of Thy Kingdom of Abha, adoring Thee, supplicating before
the Kingdom of Thy mercy, beseeching Thy realm of might, being submissive to
Thy servants, humble before Thy maid-servants, severed from aught else save
Thee, sincerely turned unto Thy face, aflame with the fire of Thy love,
diffusing Thy fragrances, united in Thy Cause, of one accord in Thy religion,
and firm in Thy Covenant.
O God, strengthen us through the fragrances of Thy sanctity,
that we may become sanctified from the stain of egotism and lust, baptized with
Thy Holy Spirit, with the fire of Thy love and the water of Thy bounty.
Verily, Thou art the Bestower, the Assister, the Confirmer,
the Beneficent, the Merciful!
