Abdullah Ansari : I seek refuge in You

The following is taken from the Intimate Invocations of Khwaja Abdullah Ansari. For more about this early Sufi master, see this post.

O God,
I seek refuge in You from two claims
        and I ask Your help in complaining about both claims:
            first, if I believe I have achieved something by myself;
            second, if I believe I have any rights in regard to You.

Translation A. G. Ravan Farhadi
