Al-Rawûf
Praise Him, Al-Rawûf, Fust and Kind alway,
Who knoweth how He made us of the clay.
Who knoweth how He made us of the clay.
Say, “Lord of all, to Thee
Goeth our road;
Require not of our souls
Too much, dear God!
Thou wilt not! what was earned
Thou dost defray;
And what was done amiss
That we must pay;
But ah! be not extreme
With what's forgot,
With error, or small sin.
And load us not
With burdens which we cannot carry, Lord!
But favour, help, forgiveness afford.”
Goeth our road;
Require not of our souls
Too much, dear God!
Thou wilt not! what was earned
Thou dost defray;
And what was done amiss
That we must pay;
But ah! be not extreme
With what's forgot,
255
And load us not
With burdens which we cannot carry, Lord!
But favour, help, forgiveness afford.”
Tender His answers are:—
(The “Chapter of the Star,”
Ayat the Thirty-Third):“The heavens and earth
To Us pertain, and We
Will deal, assuredly,
Well with the good, but with the ill in wrath.
Yet not for each offence,
Errors of flesh or sense,
Shall there be judgment, children of the loam!
Our mercy reacheth far;
We know ye what ye are,
And knew ye while ye lay clots in the womb;
Sin, and be sorry, and amend:
Who seeketh God shall find Him in the end.”

Shall there be judgment, children of the loam!
Our mercy reacheth far;

256
Sin, and be sorry, and amend:
Who seeketh God shall find Him in the end.”
Ever-indulgent Maker! we
Praise for these words Thy clemency.
Praise for these words Thy clemency.
