Source (Persian)
ای ربّ لا تمنع عبادک عن باب فضلک و لا تطردهم عن بساط قربک * ايّدهم علی کشف سبحات الجلال و خرق حجبات الاوهام و الآمال * انّک انت الغنیّ المتعال لا اله الّا انت العزيز الفضّال *
Shoghi Effendi Translation
We pray to God to graciously assist them that have been led astray to be just and fair-minded, and to make them aware of that whereof they have been heedless. He, in truth, is the All-Bounteous, the Most Generous. Debar not Thy servants, O my Lord, from the door of Thy grace, and drive them not away from the court of Thy presence. Assist them to dispel the mists of idle fancy, and to tear away the veils of vain imaginings and hopes. Thou art, verily, the All-Possessing, the Most High. No God is there but Thee, the Almighty, the Gracious.
