Lord, O Thou Whose mercy hath encompassed all,
Whose forgiveness is transcendent, Whose bounty
is sublime, Whose pardon and generosity are all-embracing, and the lights of
Whose forgiveness are diffused throughout the world! O Lord of Glory! I entreat
Thee, fervently and tearfully, to cast upon Thy Handmaiden who hath ascended
unto Thee the glances of the eye of Thy mercy. Robe her in the mantle of Thy
grace, bright with the ornaments of the celestial Paradise, and, sheltering her
beneath the tree of Thy oneness, illumine her face with the lights of Thy mercy
and compassion.
Bestow upon Thy heavenly
handmaiden, O God, the holy fragrances born of the spirit of Thy forgiveness.
Cause her to dwell in a blissful abode, heal her griefs with the balm of Thy
reunion, and, in accordance with Thy will, grant her admission to Thy holy
Paradise. Let the angels of Thy loving-kindness descend successively upon her,
and shelter her beneath Thy blessed Tree. Thou art, verily, the Ever-Forgiving,
the Most Generous, the All-Bountiful.
-‘Abdu’l-Bahá
