(I'w hadrodd unwaith mewn pedair awr ar hugain)

Y sawl a ddymuna adrodd y weddi hon, bydded iddo sefyll ar ei draed a throi at Dduw, ac fel y saif un ei le, bydded iddo edrychi i'r dde ac i'r chwith, fel petai'n disgwyl am drugaredd ei Arglwydd, yr Holl-Drugarog, y Tosturiol. Yna dyweded:

O Tydi yr hwn wyt Arglwydd yr holl enwau a chrewr y nefoedd! Erfyniaf arnat trwy'r rhai sydd yn Ffynonellau-Ddydd Dy Hanfod anweledig, y Mwyaf Dyrchafedig, yr Holl-Ogoneddus, i wneud o'm gweddi dân, a losga'n llwyr y llenni sydd wedi fy nghau allan o'th harddwch, a golau a'm harwain I eigion Dy Bresenoldeb.

Yna bydded iddo godi ei ddwylo mewn ymbil i Dduw – bendigedig a dyrchafedig fyddo Ef – a dweud:

O Tydi Ddyhead y byd ac anwylyd y cenhedloedd! Yr wyt yn fy ngweld yn troi Atat, ac wedi cael gwared o bob ymlyniad ond wrthyt Ti, ac yn glynnu wrth Dy gortyn, trwy symudiad yr hwn y cynhyrfwyd yr holl greadigaeth. Dy was ydwyf, O Arglwydd, a mab Dy was. Gwêl fi'n barod i wneud Dy ewyllys a'th ddymuniad, gan ddymuno dim arall ond Dy bleser. Erfyniaf Arnat, trwy Eigion Dy drugaredd a Seren-Ddydd Dy ras i wneud â Dy was yn ôl Dy ewyllys a'th bleser. Trwy Dy nerth sy' mhell uwchben pob sôn a mawl! Pa beth bynnag a ddatguddir gennyt yw dymuniad fy nghalon ac anwylyd fy enaid. O fy Nuw, fy Nuw! Paid ag edrych ar fy ngobeithion a'm gweithredoedd, ond edrych yn hytrach ar Dy ewyllys a gwmpasodd y nefoedd a'r ddaear. Yn ôl Dy Enw Mwyaf Di, O Arglwydd yr holl genhedloedd! Deisyfais yn unig yr hyn a ddeisyfaist Di, a charu yn unig yr hyn a geraist Di.

Yna bydded iddo benlinio, a chan ymgrymu â'i ben ar y llawr, dyweded:

Dyrchafedig wyt Ti uwchben disgrifiad neb ond Tydi Dy hun, ac amgyffred dim ond Tydi.

Yna bydded iddo sefyll a dweud:

Gwna fy ngweddi, O fy Arglwydd yn ffynnon dyfroedd bywiol fel y gallaf fyw cyhyd ag y pery dy sofraniaeth Di, a chrybwyll Di ym mhob un o'th fydoedd Di.

Bydded iddo eto godi ei ddwylo mewn ymbil a dweud:

O Tydi y mae calonnau ac eneidiau a wahanwyd oddi Wrthyt wedi toddi, a'r holl fyd yn fflam gan dân Dy gariad! Erfyniaf arnat trwy Dy enw yr wyt wedi darostwng yr holl greadigaeth trwyddo, i beidio â dal yn ôl oddi wrthyf yr hyn sydd gyda Thi, O Tydi sy'n llywodraethu dros bob dyn! Fe weli Di, O fy Arglwydd, yr estron hwn yn brysio i'w gartref mwyaf dyrchafedig o dan nenlen Dy fawrhydi ac o fewn i gyffiniau Dy drugaredd, a'r troseddwr hwn yn chwilio am eigion Dy faddeuant, a'r un gostyngedig hwn am lys Dy ogoniant, a'r creadur truan hwn am wawr Dy gyfoeth. I Ti mae'r awdurdod i orchymyn pa beth bynnag a ddymuni. Tystiaf Dy fod i'th addoli yn Dy weithredoedd, a'th ufuddhau yn Dy orchmynion, ac i aros heb Dy gyfyngu yn Dy wahoddiad.

Yna bydded iddo godi ei ddwylo a dweud dair gwaith yr Enw Mwyaf Mawr (Alláh-u-Abhá). Ac yna plygu i lawr gyda'i ddwylo yn gorffwys ar ei liniau o flaen Duw – bendigedig a dyrchafedig fyddo Ef – a dweud:

Fe weli Di, O fy Nuw, sut mae fy ysbryd wedi ei gynhyrfu oddi fewn i'm aelodau a'm corff, yn ei ddyhead i'th addoli Di, ac yn ei awydd i'th gofio a'th fawrygu: sut y mae'n tystiolaethu i'r hyn a dystiolaethodd Tafod Dy Orchymyn iddo yn nheyrnas Dy leferydd a nefoedd Dy wybodaeth. Dymunaf, yn y cyflwr hwn, o fy Arglwydd, erfyn Arnat am y cwbl sydd gyda Thi er mwyn i mi gael dangos fy nhlodi, a mawrygu Dy haelioni a'th gyfoeth, a datgan fy mod yn ddi-rym, ac amlygu Dy rym a'th nerth.

Yna bydded iddo sefyll a chodi ei ddwylo ddwywaith mewn ymbil, a dweud:

Nid oes Dduw ond Tydi, yr Hollalluog, yr Holl-Hael. Nid oes Dduw ond Tydi, yr Ordeiniwr, yn y dechrau ac hefyd yn y diwedd. O Dduw, fy Nuw! Mae Dy faddeuant wedi fy hyfhau, a Dy drugaredd wedi fy nghryfhau, a Dy alwad wedi fy neffro, a Dy ras wedi fy nyrchafu a'm arwain atat Ti. Fel arall, pwy ydwyf fi, i mi feiddio sefyll wrth byrth dinas Dy agosrwydd, neu droi fy wyneb tua'r goleuadau a ddisgleiriant o nefoedd Dy ewyllys? Fe weli Di, O fy Arglwydd, y creadur truenus hwn yn curo ar ddrws Dy ras, a'r enaid ddiflanedig hwn yn chwilio am afon bywyd tragwyddol o ddwylo Dy haelioni. I Ti mae'r gorchymyn bob amser, O Tydi yr hwn wyt Arglwydd yr holl enwau; ac i mi y mae ymostyngiad ac ufudd-dod i'th ewyllys, O Greawdwr y nefoedd!

Yna bydded iddo godi ei ddwylo dair gwaith, a dweud:

Mae Duw yn fwy na phob un mawr!

Yna bydded iddo benlinio, a chan wyro ei dalcen at y ddaear, dweud:

Rhyw uchel wyt Ti i glod y sawl sydd yn agos atat esgyn i nefoedd dy agosrwydd, nac i adar calonnau y sawl sydd wedi ymroi i Ti gyrraedd Dy borth. Tystiaf i Ti gael dy sancteiddio uwchlaw pob priodoledd a sanctaidd uwchlaw pob enw. Nid oes Duw ond Tydi, y Mwyaf Dyrchafedig, a'r Mwyaf Gogoneddus.

Yna bydded iddo eistedd a dweud:

Tystiaf i'r hyn y mae popeth a grewyd wedi tystiolaethu iddo, a'r Dyrfa fry, a thrigolion y Baradwys sy'n y goruchaf, a thu hwnt iddynt Dafod Mawredd ei hun o'r Gorwel holl-ogoneddus, mai Tydi wyt Dduw, nid oes Duw ond Tydi, ac mai Efe a amlygwyd yw'r Dirgelwch Cudd, y Symbol a Drysorir, trwy'r Hwn y mae'r llythrennau B ac E (Be) wedi eu huno a'u gwau ynghyd. Tystiaf mai Ef, yw'r hwn y mae Ei enw wedi ei osod i lawr gan Ysgrifbin y Goruchaf, y bu sôn amdano yn Llyfrau Duw, Arglwydd yr Orseddfainc fry a'r ddaear isod.

Yna bydded iddo sefyll yn syth a dweud:

O Arglwydd pob peth sy'n bod a Meddianwr pob peth gweledig ac anweledig! Rwyt yn canfod fy nagrau a'r ocheneidiau a ddaw o'm genau, ac yn clywed fy ngriddfan, fy wylofain a galarnad fy nghalon. Trwy Dy nerth! Cadwodd fy nhroseddau fi'n ôl rhag nesáu atat Ti, a daliodd fy mhechodau fi ymhell oddi wrth lys Dy sancteiddrwydd. Mae Dy gariad, o fy Arglwydd, wedi fy nghyfoethogi, a chael fy ngwahanu oddi Wrthyt Ti wedi fy ninistrio, a phellter oddi Wrthyt Ti wedi fy nifa. Erfyniaf Arnat trwy Dy gamre yn y diffeithwch hwn, a thrwy'r geiriau 'Dyma fi. Dyma Fi' y mae Dy Etholedigion wedi eu llefaru yn yr ehangder hwn, a thrwy anadliadau Dy Ddatguddiad, ac awelon tyner Gwawr Dy Amlygiad, i orchymyn y caf syllu ar Dy harddwch a gweld pa beth bynnag sydd yn Dy Lyfr.

Yna bydded iddo ddweud yr Enw Mwyaf Mawr dair gwaith, a phlygu i lawr â'i ddwylo'n gorffwys ar ei liniau, a dweud:

Moliant fyddo i Ti, O fy Nuw, am i Ti fy nghynorthwyo i'th gofio a'th foli ac amlygu i mi yr Hwn sy'n Ffynhonnell-Ddydd Dy arwyddion, ac wedi peri i mi wyro i lawr o flaen Dy Arglwyddiaeth, a darostwng fy hun o flaen Dy Dduwdod, a chydnabod yr hyn a lefarwyd gan Dafod Dy fawredd.

Yna bydded iddo godi a dweud:

O Dduw, fy Nuw! Crymwyd fy nghefn gan faich fy mhechodau, a dinistriwyd fi gan fy esgeulustod. Bob tro y byddaf yn ystyried fy nghamweddau i a'th garedigrwydd Di, mae fy nghalon yn toddi o'm mewn, a'm gwaed yn berwi yn fy ngwythiennau. Trwy Dy Harddwch, O Tydi, ddyhead y byd! Mae gennyf gywilydd codi fy wyneb atat Ti, ac estyn fy nwylo hiraethus tuag at nef Dy Haelioni. Fe weli Di, O fy Nuw, sut mae fy nagrau'n fy rhwystro rhag Dy gofio Di a mawrygu Dy rinweddau, O Tydi Arglwydd yr Orseddfainc fry a'r ddaear isod! Erfyniaf arnat, trwy arwyddion Dy Deyrnas a dirgelion Dy Arglwyddiaeth i wneud â'r rhai a geri fel y mae'n gweddu i'th haelioni O Arglwydd pob peth sy'n bod, ac yn deilwng o Dy ras, O Frenin y gweledig a'r anweledig!

Yna bydded iddo ddweud yr Enw Mwyaf Mawr dair gwaith, a phenlinio gyda'i dalcen ar y llawr, a dweud:

Moliant fyddo i Ti, O ein Duw, am fod wedi anfon i lawr atom yr hyn sydd yn ein tynnu ni'n nes atat Ti, ac yn rhoi i ni bob peth da a yrrwyd i lawr gennyt Ti yn Dy Lyfrau a'th Ysgrythurau. Amddifyn ni, erfyniwn arnat, O fy Arglwydd, rhag y minteioedd o ddarfelyddion gwag a dychmygion ofer. Tydi, mewn gwirionedd, wyt y Nerthol, yr Holl-Wybodus.

Yna bydded iddo godi ei ben, ac eistedd, a dweud:

Tystiaf, O fy Nuw, i'r hyn y mae Dy Etholedigion wedi tystiolaethu iddo, a chydnabdyddaf yr hyn y mae trigolion yr holl-uchel Baradwys a'r rhai sydd wedi amgylchynu Dy Orseddfainc nerthol wedi cydnabod. Eiddo Ti yw teyrnasoedd nef a daear, O Arglwydd y bydoedd!

Long Obligatory Prayer (to be recited once in 24 hours

Whoso wisheth to recite this prayer, let him stand up and turn unto God, and, as he standeth in his place, let him gaze to the right and to the left, as if awaiting the mercy of his Lord, the Most Merciful, the Compassionate. Then let him say:

O Thou Who art the Lord of all names and the Maker of the heavens! I beseech Thee by them Who are the Daysprings of Thine invisible Essence, the Most Exalted, the All-Glorious, to make of my prayer a fire that will burn away the veils which have shut me out from Thy beauty, and a light that will lead me unto the ocean of Thy Presence.

Let him then raise his hands in supplication toward God - blessed and exalted be He - and say:

O Thou the Desire of the world and the Beloved of the nations! Thou seest me turning toward Thee, and rid of all attachment to anyone save Thyself, and clinging to Thy cord, through whose movement the whole creation hath been stirred up. I am Thy servant, O my Lord, and the son of Thy servant. Behold me standing ready to do Thy will and Thy desire, and wishing naught else except Thy good pleasure. I implore Thee by the Ocean of Thy mercy and the Daystar of Thy grace to do with Thy servant as Thou willest and pleasest. By Thy might which is far above all mention and praise! Whatsoever is revealed by Thee is the desire of my heart and the beloved of my soul. O God, my God! Look not upon my hopes and my doings, nay rather look upon Thy will that hath encompassed the heavens and the earth. By Thy Most Great Name, O Thou Lord of all nations! I have desired only what Thou didst desire, and love only what Thou dost love.

Let him then kneel, and bowing his forehead to the ground, let him say:

Exalted art Thou above the description of anyone save Thyself, and the comprehension of aught else except Thee.

Let him then stand and say:

Make my prayer, O my Lord, a fountain of living waters whereby I may live as long as Thy sovereignty endureth, and may make mention of Thee in every world of Thy worlds.

Let him again raise his hands in supplication, and say:

O Thou in separation from Whom hearts and souls have melted, and by the fire of Whose love the whole world hath been set aflame! I implore Thee by Thy Name through which Thou hast subdued the whole creation, not to withhold from me that which is with Thee, O Thou Who rulest over all men! Thou seest, O my Lord, this stranger hastening to his most exalted home beneath the canopy of Thy majesty and within the precincts of Thy mercy; and this transgressor seeking the ocean of Thy forgiveness; and this lowly one the court of Thy glory; and this poor creature the orient of Thy wealth. Thine is the authority to command whatsoever Thou willest. I bear witness that Thou art to be praised in Thy doings, and to be obeyed in Thy behests, and to remain unconstrained in Thy bidding.

Let him then raise his hands, and repeat three times the Greatest Name (Alláh-u-Abhá). Let him then bend down with hands resting on the knees before God - blessed and exalted be He - and say:

Thou seest, O my God, how my spirit hath been stirred up within my limbs and members, in its longing to worship Thee, and in its yearning to remember Thee and extol Thee; how it testifieth to that whereunto the Tongue of Thy Commandment hath testified in the kingdom of Thine utterance and the heaven of Thy knowledge. I love, in this state, O my Lord, to beg to Thee all that is with Thee, that I may demonstrate my poverty, and magnify Thy bounty and Thy riches, and may declare my powerlessness, and manifest Thy power and Thy might.

Let him then stand and raise his hands twice in supplication, and say:

There is no God but Thee, the Almighty, the All-Bountiful. There is no God but Thee, the Ordainer, both in the beginning and in the end. O God, my God! Thy forgiveness hath emboldened me, and Thy mercy hath strengthened me, and Thy call hath awakened me, and Thy grace hath raised me up and led me unto Thee. Who, otherwise, am I that I should dare to stand at the gate of the city of Thy nearness, or set my face toward the lights that are shining from the heaven of Thy will? Thou seest, O my Lord, this wretched creature knocking at the door of Thy grace, and this evanescent soul seeking the river of everlasting life from the hands of Thy bounty. Thine is the command at all times, O Thou Who art the Lord of all names; and mine is resignation and willing submission to Thy will, O Creator of the heavens!

Let him then raise his hands thrice, and say:

Greater is God than every great one!

Let him then kneel and, bowing his forehead to the ground, say:

Too high art Thou for the praise of those who are nigh unto Thee to ascend unto the heaven of Thy nearness, or for the birds of the hearts of them who are devoted to Thee to attain to the door of Thy gate. I testify that Thou hast been sanctified above all attributes and holy above all names. No God is there but Thee, the Most Exalted, the All-Glorious.

Let him then seat himself and say:

I testify unto that whereunto have testified all created things, and the Concourse on high, and the inmates of the all-highest Paradise, and beyond them the Tongue of Grandeur itself from the all-glorious Horizon, that Thou art God, that there is no God but Thee, and that He who hath been manifested is the Hidden Mystery, the Treasured Symbol, through Whom the letters B and E (Be) have been joined and knit together. I testify that it is He Whose name hath been set down by the Pen of the Most High, and Who hath been mentioned in the Books of God, the Lord of the Throne on high and of earth below.

Let him then stand erect and say:

O Lord of all being and Possessor of all things visible and invisible! Thou dost perceive my tears and the sighs I utter, and hearest my groaning, and my wailing, and the lamentation of my heart. By Thy might! My trespasses have kept me back from drawing nigh unto Thee; and my sins have held me far from the court of Thy holiness. Thy love, O my Lord, hath enriched me, and separation from Thee hath destroyed me, and remoteness from Thee hath consumed me. I entreat Thee by Thy footsteps in this wilderness, and by the words "Here am I. Here am I" which Thy chosen Ones have uttered in this immensity, and by the breaths of Thy Revelation, and the gentle winds of the Dawn of Thy Manifestation, to ordain that I may gaze on Thy beauty and observe whatsoever is in Thy Book.

Let him then repeat the Greatest Name thrice, and bend down with hands resting on the knees, and say:

Praise be to Thee, O my God, that Thou hast aided me to remember Thee and to praise Thee, and hast made known unto me Him Who is the Dayspring of Thy signs, and hast caused me to bow down before Thy Lordship, and humble myself before Thy Godhead, and to acknowledge that which hath been uttered by the Tongue of Thy grandeur.

Let him then rise and say:

O God, my God! My back is bowed by the burden of my sins, and my heedlessness hath destroyed me. Whenever I ponder my evil doings and Thy benevolence, my heart melteth within me, and my blood boileth in my veins. By Thy Beauty, O Thou the Desire of the world! I blush to lift up my face to Thee, and my longing hands are ashamed to stretch forth toward the heaven of Thy bounty. Thou seest, O my God, how my tears prevent me from remembering Thee and from extolling Thy virtues, O Thou the Lord of the Throne on high and of earth below! I implore Thee by the signs of Thy Kingdom and the mysteries of Thy Dominion to do with Thy loved ones as becometh Thy bounty, O Lord of all being, and is worthy of Thy grace, O King of the seen and the unseen!

Let him then repeat the Greatest Name thrice, and kneel with his forehead to the ground, and say:

Praise be unto Thee, O our God, that Thou hast sent down unto us that which draweth us nigh unto Thee, and supplieth us with every good thing sent down by Thee in Thy Books and Thy Scriptures. Protect us, we beseech Thee, O my Lord, from the hosts of idle fancies and vain imaginations. Thou, in truth, art the Mighty, the All-Knowing.

Let him then raise his head, and seat himself, and say:

I testify, O my God, to that whereunto Thy chosen Ones have testified, and acknowledge that which the inmates of the all-highest Paradise and those who have circled round Thy mighty Throne have acknowledged. The kingdoms of earth and heaven are Thine, O Lord of the worlds!
