ree hath distinctly written, and which, according
to Thy will and wisdom, have been preordained in Thine irrevocable Tablet.
Subject to Thy rule, by Thy Name, the Conqueror, the people of Thy realm,
that all may turn towards Thy face and forsake their all for love of Thee
and for the sake of Thy pleasure.

Abase Thou, O my Lord, Thine enemies, and lay hold on them with Thy power
and might, and let them be stricken by the blast of Thy wrath. Make them
taste, O my God, of Thine awful majesty and vengeance, for they have
repudiated the truth of the One in Whom they had believed, Who came unto
them with Thy signs and Thy clear tokens and the evidences of Thy power
and the manifold revelations of Thy might. Gather, then, together Thy
loved ones beneath the shadow of the Tree of Thy oneness, and of the
Manifestation of the effulgent light of Thy unity.

terrible. No God is there beside Thee, the Almighty, the Most Powerful.

Thy kingdom and the duration of the heaven of Thine omnipotence, I would
still have failed to repay Thy manifold bestowals.

I implore Thee, O my Lord, by Thy name, the Ever-Abiding, and by Thy name
which Thou didst ordain to be the most great Instrument binding Thee to
Thy servants, to grant that I may flee for shelter to Thy door, and speak
