You Munificent, Who does not withhold His reward from one who hopes for it.

You Munificent, Who does not withhold His reward from one who hopes for it. My Lord, provide me with a heart, the passion of which may bring it near You, with a tongue the truth of which may be submitted to You, and with a vision the nature of which may bring it close to You. My Lord, whoever gets acquainted with You, is not un-known; whoever takes shelter under You, is not disappointed; and one to whom You turn, is not a slave.

One who follows Your path is enlightened; and one who takes refuge in You, is saved. My Lord, I have taken refuge in You. Therefore do not disappoint me of Your Mercy and do not keep me secluded from Your Kindness. My Lord, place me among Your friends in the position of one who hopes for an increase in Your love.

My Lord, inspire me with a passionate love of remembering You so that I may keep on remembering You, and by Your Holy Name and Pure Position cherish my cheerful determination into a success. My Lord, I invoke You to admit me to the place reserved for those who obey You, and to attach me to the nice abode of those who enjoy Your good pleasure. . .I can neither defend myself nor do I control what is advantageous for me. My Lord, I am Your powerless sinning slave and Your repentant bondman.

So do not make me one of those from whom You turn away Your face, and whom his negligence has secluded from Your forgiveness. My Lord, grant me complete severance of my relations with everything else and total submission to You. Enlighten the eyes of our hearts with the light of their looking at You to the extent that they penetrate the veils of light and reach the Source of Grandeur, and let our souls get suspended by the glory of Your sanctity.

My Lord, make me one of those whom You call and they respond; when You look at and they are thunderstruck by Your majesty. You whisper to them secretly and they work for You openly. My Lord, I have not allowed my pessimistic despair to overcome my good opinion about You, nor did I ever lose my hope of Your benevolence. My Lord, if my errors have degraded me with You, You may forgive me in view of my unqualified reliance on You.

My Lord, if my sins have made me unfit to receive Your tender affection, my firm belief has reminded me of Your Compassion. My Lord, if my disregard for preparations to meet You has put me to sleep, my knowledge of Your kind bounties has awakened me. My Lord, if Your severe punishment calls me to Hell, the abundance of Your reward invites me to Paradise.
