Prayer (11 December 2024)
O God, O Thou Who Theophanically
Self-Discloses by Thy Beauty to those who love Thee, and manifests through Its
Light the secret of those who intend It! Make those who seek me find me, and
those who ask about me to encounter me, and those who hope for my nearness to be
drawn close to me! And make me, O my God, a Manifestation of what Thou love, and
a locus for what pleases Thee, so that I may be a guide for every seeker, a
fountain for every thirsty soul, and a refuge for every wayfarer upon Thy
Straight Path!
O Thou Who is the Supreme Goal
and the Most Generous Beloved, gather me and those who seek me in the assembly
of Thy good-pleasure, and bring us together in the Paradise of Thy Proximity
until every horizon perishes but Thy Horizon, and every soul perishes but Thy Persona,
and every face perishes but Thy Face, and every light perishes but Thy Light,
and every truth perishes but Thy Reality! Verily Thou art the All-Attractor,
and verily Thou art the Opener of Victory! O Truly Real! Amen! O Lord of the
worlds! O Beloved of the gnostics!
اللَّهُمَّ، يَا مَن تَجَلَّى بِجَمَالِهِ
لِمَنْ أَحَبَّهُ، وَأَظْهَرَ بِنُورِهِ سِرَّ مَنْ قَصَدَهُ، اجْعَلْ مَنْ
يَطْلُبُنِي يَجِدْنِي، وَمَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي أَنْ يَلْقَانِي، وَمَنْ يَرْتَجِي
قُرْبِي أَنْ يُدْنِيَنِي، وَاجْعَلْنِي، يَا إِلٰهِي، مَظْهَرًا لِمَا تُحِبُّ،
وَمَحَلًّا لِمَا تَرْضَى، حَتَّى أَكُونَ دَلِيلًا لِكُلِّ مُرِيدٍ، وَمَنْهَلًا
لِكُلِّ ظَمْآنٍ، وَمَأْوًى لِكُلِّ سَالِكٍ إِلَى صِرَاطِكَ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ! يَا
مَنْ هُوَ الْمَطْلُوبُ الْأَعْظَمُ، وَالْمَحْبُوبُ الْأَكْرَمُ، اجْمَعْنِي
وَطَالِبِي فِي مَجْلِسِ رِضَاكَ، وَاجْعَلْنَا مَعًا فِي جَنَّةِ قُرْبَاكَ
حَتَّى كُلُّ أُفُقٍ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا أُفُقُكَ، وَكُلُّ نَفْسٍ هَالِكَةٌ إِلَّا
نَفْسُكَ، وَكُلُّ وَجْهٍ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجْهُكَ، وَكُلُّ نُورٍ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا
نُورُكَ، وَكُلُّ حَقٍّ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا حَقِيقَتُكَ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْجَذَّابُ،
وَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْفَتَّاح، يَا حَقُّ آمِينَ، يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ، يَا
مَحْبُوبَ الْعَارِفِينَ!
