Source (Arabic)
أَيْ رَبِّ قَدْ أَفْطَرَ الْيَومَ غُصْنُكَ وَمَنْ فِيْ حَوْلِكَ بَعْدَ مَا صَامُوا فِيْ جِوارِكَ طَلَبًا لِرِضَائِكَ، قَدِّرْ لَهُ وَلَهُمْ وَلِلَّذِينَ وَرَدُوا عَلَيْكَ فِيْ هذِهِ الأَيَّامِ كُلَّ خَيْرٍ قَدَّرْتَهُ فِيْ كِتابِكَ ثُمَّ ارْزُقْهُمْ ما هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ فِيْ الدُّنْيا وَالآخِرَةِ
Shoghi Effendi Translation
He Who is Thy Branch and all Thy company, O my Lord, have broken this day their fast, after having observed it within the precincts of Thy court, and in their eagerness to please Thee. Do Thou ordain for Him, and for them, and for all such as have entered Thy presence in those days all the good Thou didst destine in Thy Book. Supply them, then, with that which will profit them, in both this life and in the life beyond.
