A Persian(Iranian Christian) Prayer by Zand-i-Zolqalam
O Friend of my sad heart, Thy kindness immense be!
O Light of the world, may Thy presence intense be!
Whenever afflicted, with doubt or depression,
Whenever my helper neglects his profession,
Whenever it's hard to refrain from transgression,
Draw near and relieve me, my Guardian hence be!
At length when my lifetime is nearing conclusion,
At length when all pleasure is tasteless intrusion,
At length when existence is changed to confusion,
O Changeless Preserver, my certain defence be!
No griefs or sore troubles can further distress me;
No tears shed in bitterness can still obsess me;
Now death has been vanquished, no dread can oppress me;
Thou always within me the chief influence be!'
