Let
our hearts merry in Your Forever Presence by our Side,
Do
not let us come to any harm in respect to our material and spiritual lives.
Shelter
us and Your Khalifatullah Hazrat Munir Ahmad Azim,
In
the everlastingness of Your Being,
Cherished
and Protected,
Against
the harms of all worlds and creatures,
Known
and unknown to us,
But
which You encompass in Your knowledge.
Drive
away our anxieties,
And
gladden our hearts with Your Presence O Allah!
You
are indeed our Real Purpose, Our Aim,
Without
You, O Allah,
Nothing
really matters,
You
alone can help us to reach You safe and sound,
And
to honour us in such a way that
All
other honours pale in comparison.
O
Allah! Bless our Spiritual Leader,
Hazrat

The
Noble Khalifatullah of this era,
And
grant him health and wealth,
To
last him a lifetime in Your eternity,
Pleased
with him, and him pleased with You.

We
wish you from the bottom of our hearts,
And
