Ḥizb al-Shakwā

حزب الشكوى

Clause 40 of 99 · Far from home

يَا مَنْ لَا يَسْكُنُ قَلْبٌ إِلَّا بِقُرْبِهِ وَأَنْوَارِهِ وَلَا يَنْجُو عَبْدٌ إِلَّا بِلُطْفِهِ وَإِبْرَارِهِ وَلَا يَبْقَى وُجُودُهُ إِلَّا بِإِمْدَادِهِ وَإِظْهَارِهِ

You in whose nearness and lights alone a heart finds rest, by whose gentleness and kindness alone a servant is saved, by whose sustaining and manifesting alone one's existence endures:

Yā man lā yaskunu qalbun illā bi-qurbihi wa-anwārihi wa-lā yanjū ʿabdun illā bi-luṭfihi wa-ibrārihi wa-lā yabqā wujūduhu illā bi-imdādihi wa-iẓhārih
