His Supplication in Perils

His Supplication when Perils were Repelled or Requests quickly granted

1 O God,
          to Thee belongs praise for Thy excellent accomplishment
                    and for Thy trial which Thou hast turned away from me!
          But make not my share of Thy mercy
                    the well-being which Thou hast quickly granted to me,
          lest I become wretched through what I have loved
                    and someone else gain felicity through what I have disliked!96
2 If this well-being in which 1 pass the day or night should precede
          a trial that does not cease
                    and a burden that does not pass away,
          then set before me what Thou hadst set behind
                    and set behind me what Thou hadst set before!
3           For that which ends in annihilation is not great
                    and that which ends in subsistence is not little.
          And bless Muhammad and his Household!
