“Glory be to You, O God, my God and my Beloved! It is You who by Your command the squeak of the pen of the Most High rose between the earth and the heavens, and with it You have decreed on the tablets what You have decreed with Your preserved knowledge and with Your predetermined decree, and with what You have established on the tablet, You manifest in creativity what is predestined by Your will and decreed by Your will. So, Oh my God, hear the call of this pen who is far from the shores of your nearness and encounter with you, and is afflicted among the fingertips of one of your most wretched creatures. By your glory, O my beloved! I am afraid of the power of your oppression and the affairs of your revenge. Then you witness my psychological turmoil, my heart trembles, and my body becomes confused with what you made me Oppressed by the fingertips of this polytheist who did not inhale the fragrances of fairness from the pleasure of your justice and gifts, and did not find the scents of perfume from the shirt of your grace and kindness.
And if You, O my God and Sovereign, had You pardoned me through Your forbearance and forgave me[242] my sins through Your grace and generosity, how would I raise my head before the debtor of Your honor and meeting with You? Your glory has reached a place of humiliation, if you look at me with your moments of compassion, you would cry by yourself for this poor person who has become hopeless from himself and from all sides, as he was made deprived of the glimmers of the lights of your beauty that shone from the horizon of the sky of your glory and your will. Oh, oh, my despair, on this day when you opened the doors of your connection to those in your land and your sky, and you invited everyone to the place of your closeness and meeting with you. Ah, ah, for what was destined for me in the boards of your judgment, and with it you erased my luck, and the sweetest conversations I have when I see the lights of your face. I wish I had been deprived of all that You have destined for the good of Your creation, and that I had not cohabited with those who did not know You and did not prostrate to You, and that through my help the hearts of Your trustees and Your pure ones were burned for.

And if You, O my God and Sovereign, had You pardoned me through Your forbearance and forgave me[242] my sins through Your grace and generosity, how would I raise my head before the debtor of Your honor and meeting with You? Your glory has reached a place of humiliation, if you look at me with your moments of compassion, you would cry by yourself for this poor person who has become hopeless from himself and from all sides, as he was made deprived of the glimmers of the lights of your beauty that shone from the horizon of the sky of your glory and your will. Oh, oh, my despair, on this day when you opened the doors of your connection to those in your land and your sky, and you invited everyone to the place of your closeness and meeting with you. Ah, ah, for what was destined for me in the boards of your judgment, and with it you erased my luck, and the sweetest conversations I have when I see the lights of your face. I wish I had been deprived of all that You have destined for the good of Your creation, and that I had not cohabited with those who did not know You and did not prostrate to You, and that through my help the hearts of Your trustees and Your pure ones were burned for.
