Prayers and Meditations — Paragraph 473

Source (Arabic)

َّتِكَ لا يَمْنَعُنِي عَنْ ذِكْرِ ما أُمِرْتُ بِهِ جُنُودُ السَّمَواتِ وَالأَرَضِينَ، مَعَ إِرَادَتِكَ لَيْسَ لِي إِرادَةٌ وَعِنْدَ مَشِيَّتِكَ لَيْسَ لِي مَشِيَّةٌ، أَكُونُ بِفَضْلِكَ فِي كُلِّ الأَحْوالِ حاضِرًا لِخِدْمَتِكَ وَمُنْقَطِعًا عَمَّا س

Translation

I swear by Thy might! Neither the hosts of the earth nor those of heaven can keep me back from revealing the things I am commanded to manifest. I have no will before Thy will, and can cherish no desire in the face of Thy desire. By Thy grace I am, at all times, ready to serve Thee and am rid of all attachment to any one except Thee.
