The Munājāt of Ibn ʿAṭāʾ Allāh

المناجاة العطائية

Clause 14 of 33 · The intimate prayers

اِلَهِى كَمْ مِنْ طَاعَةٍ بَنَيْتُهَا وَحَالَةٍ شَيَّدْتُهَا هَدَمَ اعْتِمَادِى عَلَيْهَا عَدْلُكَ بَلْ أَقَالَنِى مِنْهَا فَضْلُكَ

My God, how many an act of obedience have I built, and how many a state have I raised high, only for Your justice to tear down my reliance upon them! Nay rather, it was Your bounty that released me from them.

Ilāhī kam min ṭāʿatin banaytuhā wa-ḥālatin shayyadtuhā hadama iʿtimādī ʿalayhā ʿadluka bal aqālanī minhā faḍluk
