Kitab-i-Badi/English459

Uh-uh, my beloved! How do I remember what I see of your actions and affairs? Once upon a time, I witness that you took the pen of the one who was like me with the fingertips of your mercy and made it the companion of your soul and the companion of your beauty, and you take it with the fingers of your glory and your pride, and from it flow the seas of the animal, from which, by a drop of it, you sent the realities of possibility and the hearts of the people of the universes, and from its creak you attracted the hearts of the close ones and the hearts of the sincere. Once upon a time, I see that you afflicted me with the fingertips of the polytheists and made me subjugated under their fingers, and the hearts of the people of the Most High became disturbed in me, then the inhabitants of the cities of survival, and the livers of those whose faces you honored from turning to others and sanctified them from the signs of the people of your land and sought nearness in the shade of your care and bounty. By Your might, I fear that whoever disobeys me, the pen of Your command will cease and the tablets of Your judgment and [244] the sheets of Your decree will cease. I wish I had not existed and had not been mentioned.
