Prayers and Meditations — Paragraph 506

Source (Arabic)

مِنْ إِمائِكَ أَرادَتْ وَجْهَكَ وَطارَتْ فِي هَوآءِ رِضائِكَ، أَيْ رَبِّ لا تَحْرِمْها عَمَّا قَدَّرْتَهُ لِخِيْرَةِ إِمائِكَ ثُمَّ اجْتَذِبْها بِآياتِكَ عَلَى شَأْنٍ تَذْكُرُكَ بَيْنَ إِمَائِكَ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ

Translation

One of Thy handmaidens, O my Lord, hath sought Thy face, and soared in the atmosphere of Thy pleasure. Withhold not from her, O my Lord, the things Thou didst ordain for the chosen ones among Thy handmaidens. Enable her, then, to be so attracted by Thine utterances that she will celebrate Thy praise amongst them.
