And if You, O my God and Sovereign, had You pardoned me through Your forbearance and forgave me[242] my sins through Your grace and generosity, how would I raise my head before the debtor of Your honor and meeting with You? Your glory has reached a place of humiliation, if you look at me with your moments of compassion, you would cry by yourself for this poor person who has become hopeless from himself and from all sides, as he was made deprived of the glimmers of the lights of your beauty that shone from the horizon of the sky of your glory and your will. Oh, oh, my despair, on this day when you opened the doors of your connection to those in your land and your sky, and you invited everyone to the place of your closeness and meeting with you. Ah, ah, for what was destined for me in the boards of your judgment, and with it you erased my luck, and the sweetest conversations I have when I see the lights of your face. I wish I had been deprived of all that You have destined for the good of Your creation, and that I had not cohabited with those who did not know You and did not prostrate to You, and that through my help the hearts of Your trustees and Your pure ones were burned for.
Uh-uh, my beloved! How do I remember what I see of your actions and affairs? Once upon a time, I witness that you took the pen of the one who was like me with the fingertips of your mercy and made it the companion of your soul and the companion of your beauty, and you take it with the fingers of your glory and your pride, and from it flow the seas of the animal, from which, by a drop of it, you sent the realities of possibility and the hearts of the people of the universes, and from its creak you attracted the hearts of the close ones and the hearts of the sincere. Once upon a time, I see that you afflicted me with the fingertips of the polytheists and made me subjugated under their fingers, and the hearts of the people of the Most High became disturbed in me, then the inhabitants of the cities of survival, and the livers of those whose faces you honored from turning to others and sanctified them from the signs of the people of your land and sought nearness in the shade of your care and bounty. By Your might, I fear that whoever disobeys me, the pen of Your command will cease and the tablets of Your judgment and [244] the sheets of Your decree will cease. I wish I had not existed and had not been mentioned.

Uh-uh, my beloved! How do I remember what I see of your actions and affairs? Once upon a time, I witness that you took the pen of the one who was like me with the fingertips of your mercy and made it the companion of your soul and the companion of your beauty, and you take it with the fingers of your glory and your pride, and from it flow the seas of the animal, from which, by a drop of it, you sent the realities of possibility and the hearts of the people of the universes, and from its creak you attracted the hearts of the close ones and the hearts of the sincere. Once upon a time, I see that you afflicted me with the fingertips of the polytheists and made me subjugated under their fingers, and the hearts of the people of the Most High became disturbed in me, then the inhabitants of the cities of survival, and the livers of those whose faces you honored from turning to others and sanctified them from the signs of the people of your land and sought nearness in the shade of your care and bounty. By Your might, I fear that whoever disobeys me, the pen of Your command will cease and the tablets of Your judgment and [244] the sheets of Your decree will cease. I wish I had not existed and had not been mentioned.
