Uh-uh, my love! I called upon you when I sprouted on the shores of Quds [246], I called you by your name “The Compassionate”, then by your name “The Compassionate”, then by your name “The Merciful”, then by your name “The Forgiving”, then by your name “The Compassionate”, then by your name “The Friendly”, then by your name “Al-Kafi” Then, in your name, the Giver. And whenever I find myself grieving, I announce to it your closeness and meeting you, and whenever I feel troubled, I soothe it with remembrance of the days of your arrival. Then, when my creation was perfected, one of Your servants uprooted me from my place, and I was transferred from hand to hand and from market to market until I came to the market of which You are aware of Your knowledge that encompasses everything. So someone of your creation and your innocence bought me. But, my God and my beloved, by Your glory, when he took me by the hand, I saw that he was heedless of that, and I was perplexed in that. Because this noise appeared from me without choice.
Therefore, look, O my God, at me in the moments of Your providence, then return the gaze of Your bounty to this oppressed person who has become despondent from his deeds of Your spirit and Your providence and despairs of the benefactors of Your bounty and generosity. Ah, ah, from the greatness of my affliction and the abundance of my perplexity and burning! I did not know what to ask of the benefactor of your grace, because every time my highest poetry reaches him, I see that he does not calm my heart and my heart will not rest through him. Therefore, when I find myself in this situation and those conditions, I like to delegate my affairs in your hand and in your fist so that you can estimate [248] what is best for you for myself, my being, and my truth. Therefore, I ask you, my beloved, with the manifestations of your affairs in those days, the openings of your revelations, and the storehouses of your knowledge, to send down upon me what illuminates my face between the heavens and the earth. And You are the Powerful over whatever You will, and You are the Powerful, the Dominant, the Subsisting.

Therefore, look, O my God, at me in the moments of Your providence, then return the gaze of Your bounty to this oppressed person who has become despondent from his deeds of Your spirit and Your providence and despairs of the benefactors of Your bounty and generosity. Ah, ah, from the greatness of my affliction and the abundance of my perplexity and burning! I did not know what to ask of the benefactor of your grace, because every time my highest poetry reaches him, I see that he does not calm my heart and my heart will not rest through him. Therefore, when I find myself in this situation and those conditions, I like to delegate my affairs in your hand and in your fist so that you can estimate [248] what is best for you for myself, my being, and my truth. Therefore, I ask you, my beloved, with the manifestations of your affairs in those days, the openings of your revelations, and the storehouses of your knowledge, to send down upon me what illuminates my face between the heavens and the earth.
