Line 1: Line 1:
Uh-uh, my love! You created me to remember you and praise yourself, and I have become deprived of what I was created for. And what appeared from me was the veil of greatness and pride, and the faces of the people of the Most High changed, and the realities of those in the kingdom of names ceased to exist, and the foundations of the cities of perpetuity shook. So how, O my God, do I raise my head between the pens for the shame in which I bow my head in the presence of the close ones at the appearance of the lights of your beauty and the seat of the monotheists in the courtyard of the door of your greatness. By Your Honor, if You clothe me in the mantle of forgiveness, and blow upon me from the part of Your providence the fragrances of Your Most Merciful Name, and immerse me in the seas of Your kindness and gentleness, and forgive me for what I have committed during Your days, then by Your Honor my heart will not be calm and my soul will not be at peace. Grant me, O my Beloved, that by Your grace and care You have purified me from disobedience, so how can I remove from me the smells of shame that blow from my soul upon myself at all times and made me deprived of the whiffs of pleasure that You made above the heavens?
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.
