A weeping heart at daybreak
The breeze of Divine manifestations blows at daybreak;
Wake up, O my eyes, at daybreeak!
Seek help from the Court of God..
Dawn is the time when the sinful seek forgiveness.
Awake, O my heart, at daybreak,
Repent and seek forgiveness from the Court of God!
***
Daybreak is a kind of resurrection when every being is awake and busy
with the glorification of God. When will you, O my foolish soul, awake from
the sleep of heedlessness? Life is a limited period and every living being
is on a journey to the grave. Perform the prescribed prayer and supplicate
to Him like a plaintive flute, and say:
O Lord! I am repentant and ashamed of my innumerable sins. I
am wretched and abased and tearful and restless with life. I am exiled and
lonely, weak and impotent, old and ill, and I have no choices at all. I beg
for Your Mercy and forgiveness, and I cry for help from Your Court, O God!
