18- His Supplication in Perils

His Supplication when Perils were Repelled or Requests quickly granted

1 O God,            to Thee belongs praise for Thy excellent accomplishment                      and for Thy trial which Thou hast turned away from me!            But make not my share of Thy mercy                      the well-being which Thou hast quickly granted to me,            lest I become wretched through what I have loved                      and someone else gain felicity through what I have disliked! 96 2 If this well-being in which 1 pass the day or night should precede            a trial that does not cease                      and a burden that does not pass away,            then set before me what Thou hadst set behind                      and set behind me what Thou hadst set before! 3           For that which ends in annihilation is not great                      and that which ends in subsistence is not little.            And bless Muhammad and his Household!
