Prayers and Meditations — Paragraph 722

Source (Arabic)

نِيْ وَأَنِيْنِيْ وَعَجْزِيْ وَفَقْرِيْ وَفاقَتِيْ وَضُرِّيْ وَمَسْكَنَتِي، وَعِزَّتِكَ إِنَّ البُكآءَ مَنَعَنِيْ عَنْ ذِكْرِكَ وَثَنائِكَ وَارْتَفَعَ نَحِيبُهُ عَلَى شَأْنٍ تَحَيَّرَتْ بِهِ الثَّكْلى وَمَنَعَها عَنْ بُكائِها وَزَفَراتِها، أَيْ رَبِّ أَسْئَلُكَ بِا

Translation

Thou knowest, and seest, and hearest, O my Lord, that before every tree I am moved to lift up my voice to Thee, and before every stone I am impelled to sigh and lament. Hath it been Thy purpose in creating me, O my God, to touch me with tribulation, or to enable me to manifest Thy Cause in the kingdom of Thy creation?
