Study this clause

Clause 59 of 99 · No lord but You

يَا إِلٰهِي بِحَالِي وَالَّذِي بِي حَقِيقٌ عَلَيَّ أَنْ لَا أَشْتَكِيَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ وَالْأَعْزَمُ لِي أَنْ لَا أَتَوَكَّلَ إِلَّا عَلَيْكَ

My God, with my state and what is wrong with me, it is right that I complain to none but You, and the firmest course for me is to rely on none but You.

Yā ilāhī bi-ḥālī wa-lladhī bī ḥaqīqun ʿalayya an lā ashtakiya illā ilayka wa-l-aʿzamu lī an lā atawakkala illā ʿalayk

    The reading is uncertain: «والأعزم» (the firmest course) is read for letters printed «ولاعزم»; they could be taken as «and I have no resolve».
