Prayers and Meditations — Paragraph 502

Source (Arabic)

لَوْلاهُ بِما يَسْتأْنِسُ البَهآءُ وَيَفْرَحُ قَلْبُ البَهآءِ، بِذِكْرِكَ جُعِلْتُ غَنِيًّا مِنْ ذِكْرِ العالَمِينَ وَبِحُبِّكَ لا أَجْزَعُ عَنْ ضُرِّ الظَّالِمِينَ، فَأَرْسِلْ يا إِلهِي عَلَى أَحِبَّتِي ما تَفْرَحُ بِهِ قُلُوبُهُمْ

Translation

I give thanks to Thee, O my God, that Thou hast suffered me to remember Thee. What else but remembrance of Thee can give delight to my soul or gladness to my heart? Communion with Thee enableth me to dispense with the remembrance of all Thy creatures, and my love for Thee empowereth me to endure the harm which my oppressors inflict upon me.
