Source (Arabic)
عمّا ورد وندعوك باللّيل والنّهار وفي كلّ بكور وأصيل، ليوفّقك الله على طاعته وإجراء حكمه ويحفظك من جنود الشّياطين، إذا فافعل ما شئت وما ينبغي لحضرتك ويليق لسلطنتك ولا تنس حكم الله في كلّ ما أردت أو تريد، وقل الحمد لله ربّ العالمين...
Shoghi Effendi Translation
In the day time and in the night season, at even and at morn, We pray to God on thy behalf, that He may graciously aid thee to be obedient unto Him and to observe His commandment, that He may shield thee from the hosts of the evil ones. Do, therefore, as it pleaseth thee, and treat Us as befitteth thy station and beseemeth thy sovereignty. Be not forgetful of the law of God in whatever thou desirest to achieve, now or in the days to come. Say: Praise be to God, the Lord of all worlds!
