O Thou Whose face is the object of my adoration, Whose
beauty is my sanctuary, Whose habitation is my goal, Whose praise is my hope,
Whose providence is my companion, Whose love is the cause of my being, Whose
mention is my solace, Whose nearness is my desire, Whose presence is my dearest
wish and highest aspiration, I entreat Thee not to withhold from me the things
Thou didst ordain for the chosen ones among Thy servants. Supply me, then, with
the good of this world and of the next.
Thou, truly, art the King of all men. There is no God but
Thee, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Generous.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and
Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
