45

but I have depended on Youreternal remembrance of me,

and Your (continuous)

grace on me.


46/272

46

OAllh!

Omy Protector!How many ugly (deeds)

You have concealed!

52

my deeds are inadequate,my chains have kept me

down,


53/272


54/272

54

The world has deceivedme by its illusion,


55/272

55

and my soul by itsoffenses,

and my postponement.


56/272

56

O my Master! I askYou by Your might,


57/272

57

not to let my ugly deedsand acts conceal mysupplication from You,


58/272

58

not to disgrace me by

exposing what is secret ofmy (acts), which (only) You

are aware of,


59/272

59

not to hasten thepunishment of what I

have done secretly,


60/272

60

such as, my uglydeeds, my offenses,


61/272

61

my continuousnegligence, my

ignorance,


62/272

62

my manifold passions,and my forgetfulness.


63/272

63

OAllh! By Your might, Becompassionate to me in

all circumstances,


64/272

64

and have grace onme on all matters.


65/272

65

My God and my Lord!


66/272

66

Whom can I ask besideYou, to remove my

affliction,


67/272

67

and to look into myaffairs?


68/272

68

My God and myProtector!


69/272

69

You have laid on me rules(to follow), but I followedmy own whims.


70/272

70

I did not remain wary ofadorning my enemy.


71/272

71

Therefore, he was (ableto) deceive me through

my desires,

and destiny favoredhim in this (matter).
