تَرَى يا مَحْبوبَ الأَبْهى تَمَوُّجاتِ بَحْرِ القَلْبِ فِيْ عِشْقِكَ وَهَواكَ، أَسْئَلُكَ بِآياتِ عَظَمَتِكَ وَظُهُوراتِ سَلْطَنَتِكَ بِأَنْ تُسَخِّرَ العِبَادَ بِهذا الاسْمِ الَّذِيْ جَعَلْتَهُ مالِكَ الأَسْمآءِ فِي مَلَكُوتِ الإِنْشآءِ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الحاكِمُ عَلَى ما تَشآءُ لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ العَزِيزُ الْكَرِيمُ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Thou seest, O Thou Who art my All-Glorious Beloved, the restless waves that surge within the ocean of my heart, in my love and yearning towards Thee. I implore Thee, by the signs of Thy majesty and the evidences of Thy sovereignty, to subdue Thy servants by this Name Which Thou hast made to be the King of all names in the kingdom of Thy creation. Potent art Thou to rule as Thou pleasest. No God is there but Thee, the All-Glorious, the All-Bountiful.
