بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ قَيُّومًا عَلَى الأَسْمآءِ وَمُهَيْمِنًا عَلَى مَنْ فِيْ الأَرْضِ وَالسَّمآءِ بِأَنْ لا تَطْرُدَ الَّذِيْ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَيْكَ وَلا تَمْنَعَهُ عَنْ بَدائِعِ فَضْلِكَ وَخَفِيَّاتِ رَحْمَتِكَ، أَوْقِدْ بِأَيادِي قُدْرَتِكَ فِيْ قَلْبِهِ سِراجًا لِيَكُونَ مُشْتَعِلاً فِيْ أَيَّامِكَ وَمُنادِيًا بِاسْمِكَ عَلَى شَأْنٍ لا يَمْنَعُهُ الحَيآءُ عَنِ الطَّيَرانِ فِيْ هَوآءِ حُبِّكَ وَالصُّعُودِ إِلى أُفُقِ جَذْبِكَ وَاشْتِياقِكَ وَلا يُشْغِلُهُ شُئُوناتُ الخَلْقِ عَنْ إِعْلاءِ كَلِمَتِكَ لِتَريهُ مُقَدَّسًا كما تُرِيدُ وَيَنْبَغِي لِعَظَمَتِكَ وَجَلالِكَ، وَلَوْ أَنَّ يا إِلهِي
