lyrics
O thou who art turning thy face towards God!
Close thine eyes to all things else,
and open them to the realm of the All-Glorious.
Ask whatsoever thou wishest of Him alone;
seek whatsoever thou seekest from Him alone.
With a look he granteth a hundred thousand hopes,
With a glance He healeth a hundred thousand incurable ills,
With a nod he layeth balm on every wound,
With a glimpse He freeth the hearts from the shackles of grief.
He doeth what He doeth and what recourse have we?
He carrieth out His Will, He ordaineth as He pleaseth.
Then better for thee to bow down thy head in submission and put thy trust in the All-Merciful Lord.
Close thine eyes to all things else,
and open them to the realm of the All-Glorious.
Ask whatsoever thou wishest of Him alone;
seek whatsoever thou seekest from Him alone.
With a look he granteth a hundred thousand hopes,
With a glance He healeth a hundred thousand incurable ills,
With a nod he layeth balm on every wound,
With a glimpse He freeth the hearts from the shackles of grief.
He doeth what He doeth and what recourse have we?
He carrieth out His Will, He ordaineth as He pleaseth.
Then better for thee to bow down thy head in submission and put thy trust in the All-Merciful Lord.
