The Prayers of

Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid `Inayat Khan

Prayer for the Dead

O Thou

the Cause and Effect of the Whole universe

the Source from whence we have come

and the Goal toward which all are bound:

receive this soul, who is coming to Thee,

into Thy parental arms.

May Thy forgiving Glance heal his/her heart.

Lift him/her from the denseness of the earth.

Surround him/her with the Light of Thine own Spirit.

Raise him/her up to heaven which is her true dwelling place.

We pray Thee, grant him/her the blessing of Thy most exalted Presence.

May his/her life upon earth become as a dream to his/her waking soul,

And let his/her thirsting eyes behold the glorious vision of Thy Sunshine.

Amen
