Clause 21 of 99 · When the ways narrow
رَبِّ عَبْدُكَ قَدْ ضَاقَتْ بِهِ الْأَسْبَابُ وَغُلِّقَتْ دُونَهُ الْأَبْوَابُ وَتَعَذَّرَ عَلَيْهِ سُلُوكُ طَرِيقِ الصَّوَابِ وَدَارَ بِهِ الْهَمُّ وَالْغَمُّ وَالِاكْتِئَابُ
My Lord, Your servant: the means have narrowed on him, the doors are shut before him, the right road is beyond his walking, and worry, grief and gloom have closed round him.
