The Munājāt of Ibn ʿAṭāʾ Allāh

المناجاة العطائية

Clause 4 of 33 · The intimate prayers

اِلَهِى وَصَفْتَ نَفْسَكَ بِاللُّطْفِ وَالرَّأْفَةِ بِى قَبْلَ وُجُودِ ضَعْفِى أَفَتَمْنَعُنِى مِنْهُمَا بَعْدَ وُجُودِ ضَعْفِى

My God, You described Yourself as gently kind and compassionate toward me before my weakness came to be; will You then withhold these two from me now that my weakness has come to be?

Ilāhī waṣafta nafsaka bi-l-luṭfi wa-r-raʾfati bī qabla wujūdi ḍaʿfī a-fa-tamnaʿunī minhumā baʿda wujūdi ḍaʿfī
