Source (Arabic)
صلّ اللّهمّ یا إلهي علی الّذین شربوا رحیق حبّک أمام الوجوه رغمًا لأعدائک واقرّوا واعترفوا بوحدانیّتک وفردانیّتک وبما ارتعدت به فرائص جبابرة خلقک وفراعنة بلادک أشهد أنّ سلطانک لا یفنی وإرادتک لا تتغیّر قدّر للّذین أقبلوا إلیک ولامائک اللّآئي تمسّکن بحبلک ما ینبغي لبحر کرمک وسمآء فضلک أنت الّذي یا إله
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Vouchsafe Thy blessings, O Lord, my God, unto them that have quaffed the wine of Thy love before the face of men, and, in spite of Thine enemies, have acknowledged Thy unity, testified to Thy oneness, and confessed their belief in that which hath made the limbs of the oppressors among Thy creatures to quake, and the flesh of the proud ones of the earth to tremble. I bear witness that Thy Sovereignty can never perish, nor Thy Will be altered. Ordain for them that have set their faces towards Thee, and for Thine handmaids that have held fast by Thy Cord, that which beseemeth the Ocean of Thy bounty and the Heaven of Thy grace.
