The kings of the earth prostrate themselves before Him in supplication.
He seizes not in haste the disobedient, nor drives away the penitent with violence. The two worlds are as a drop of water in the ocean of His knowledge.
He withholds not His bounty though His servants sin; upon the surface of the earth has He spread a feast, in which both friend and foe may share.
Peerless He is, and His kingdom is eternal. Upon the head of one He placeth a crown; another he hurleth from the throne to the ground.
The fire of His friend He turneth into a flower-garden; through the waters of the Nile He sendeth His foes to perdition.
Behind the veil He seeth all, and concealeth our faults with His own goodness.
He is near to them that are downcast, and accepteth the prayers of them that lament.
He knoweth of the things that exist not, of secrets that are untold.
He causeth the moon and the sun to revolve, and spreadeth water upon the earth.
