shall bemoan for Thee (for being deprived of
nearness to Thee) the lamentation of those who
are bereaved, and I shall keep on calling unto
Thee: "Where art Thou o' Friend of the
believers! O' (Thou who art) the last hope and
resort of those who acknowledge Thee and have
faith in Thy clemency and kindness; o' Thou who
art the helper of those seeking help! O' Thou who
art dear to the hearts of those who truly believe
in Thee! And o' Thou who art the Lord of the

Lord! Glory and praise be to Thee, wouldst Thou
(wish) to be seen (disregarding) the voice of a
muslim bondman, incarcerated therein (the hell)
for his disobedience and imprisoned within its
pits for his evildoings and misdeeds, crying out
to Thee the utterance of one who has faith in Thy
