[Sunlight] May God have mercy

~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

May God have mercy on those who lead the way
and those who come behind,
and those who fulfill their vows,
and those who seek to fulfill them,
with His Grace and bounty,
His great benefits and favors!
For He is the best object of petition
and the noblest object of hope;
and God is the best protector and the most merciful
of those who show mercy,
and the best of friends and the best of heirs
and the best replacer of what has been consumed
and provider for those devoted
who sow and till the soil of good works.
And God bless Muhammad and all
the Prophets and Messengers!
Amen, 0 Lord of created beings!

-- Mathnawi IV, Prologue
Version by Camille and Kabir Helminski
