Sol 5.6

  1. O Raiser of bodies, restoring them as they were at first,

    Though they have perished in a world of splendor;

  2. O Sender of the guiding messengers with His religion,

    So that justice’s judgment may be carried out once proof is established;

  3. O Mover of the creatures’ deeds, which they acquire,

    By creating within them motives and will;

  4. O You who rouse His servant, when in sin, through repentance,

    And rouse him, in his helplessness, through aid;

  5. O Quickener of spirits through knowledge and guidance,

    By Your quickening they journeyed in their guidance and alighted;

  6. By Your quickening, in the expanses of Your oneness, there rose

    To You the loftiest aspirations: they yearned and longed;

  7. By Your quickening comes the inward secret’s purity from passion’s delusion,

    By Your quickening comes the deed’s purity from defilement;

  8. Establish me, through the secret of quickening, amid passion’s heedlessness,

    And raise my aspiration through the inward secret’s awakening in God;

  9. Answer my prayer, O dispeller of sorrow, without reserve;

    O Bringer of blessings from every direction,

  10. Pour forth for me the open expanse’s abundance from the awakening of contentment,

    And direct my awakening toward all that pleases You;

  11. And who can gain me the attainment of triumph when it eludes me—

    Save an awakening of providential care from the Ever-Sustaining Raiser?
