Prayers and Meditations — Paragraph 423

Source (Arabic)

مَشْغُولَةٌ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ مِنْ شِدَّةِ البَلايا الَّتِيْ أَحَاطَتْهُمْ مِنْ قَضائِكَ، وَلِسَانُ البَهآءِ مَشْغُولٌ بِذِكْرِ أَصْفِيائِكَ وَقَلْبُ البَهآءِ ذاكِرٌ لأَحِبَّائِكَ وَأَرِقَّائِكَ، فَيا إِلهِي لا تَنْظُرْ إِلَيَّ وَعَلَى

Translation

All Thy servants, O my God, are occupied with their own selves, so great have been the troubles which, as decreed by Thee, have encompassed them on every side. My tongue, however, is busied in extolling Thy chosen ones, and my heart in remembering them that are dear to Thee and are wholly subject to Thy will.
