Prayers and Meditations — Paragraph 356

Source (Arabic)

مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَيْ رَبِّ طَهِّرْ أُذُنِي لاسْتِماعِ آياتِكَ وَنَوِّرْ قَلْبِي بِنُورِ عِرْفانِكَ، ثُمَّ أَنْطِقْ لِسانِيْ بِذِكْرِكَ وَثَنائِكَ، فَوَعِزَّتِكَ يا إِلهِي لا أُحِبُّ سِواكَ وَلا أُرِيدُ دُونَكَ،

Translation

Purge Thou mine ear, O my Lord, that I may hearken unto the verses sent down unto Thee, and illuminate my heart with the light of Thy knowledge, and loose my tongue that it may make mention of Thee and sing Thy praise. By Thy might, O my God! My soul is wedded to none beside Thee, and my heart seeketh none except Thine own Self.
