Prayers and Meditations — Paragraph 149

Source (Arabic)

سُبْحانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ يا إِلهِي أَسْئَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِيْ ما عَرَفَهُ أَحَدٌ حَقَّ العِرْفانِ وَما بَلَغَتْ إِلَيْهِ نَفْسٌ حَقَّ البُلُوغِ، أَسْئَلُكَ بِمَصْدَرِ وَحْيِكَ وَمَطْلَعِ آياتِكَ بِأَنْ تَجْعَلَ قَلْبِيْ إِناءَ حُبِّكَ وَذِكْرِكَ، ثُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ مُتَّصِلاً بِبَحْرِكَ الأَعْظَمِ لِيَجْرِيَ مِنْهُ فُراتُ حِكْمَتِكَ وَأَنْهارُ ذِكْرِكَ وَثَنائِكَ، تَش

Translation

Praise be to Thee, O Lord my God! I implore Thee, by Thy Name which none hath befittingly recognized, and whose import no soul hath fathomed; I beseech Thee, by Him Who is the Fountainhead of Thy Revelation and the Dayspring of Thy signs, to make my heart to be a receptacle of Thy love and of remembrance of Thee. Knit it, then, to Thy most great Ocean, that from it may flow out the living waters of Thy wisdom and the crystal streams of Thy glorification and praise.
