Source (Arabic)
رَبِّ أَسْئَلُكَ بِهِ وَبِما عِنْدَهُ بِأَنْ تَجْعَلَنِي فِيْ حُبِّهِ كَما كانَ فِيْ حُبِّكَ، وَأَشْهَدُ بِأَنَّ حُبَّهُ حُبُّكَ وَنَفْسَهُ نَفْسُكَ وَجَمالَهُ جَمالُكَ وَأَمْرَهُ أَمُرك.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I implore Thee, O my Lord, by Him and by whatsoever pertaineth unto Him, to set my affections upon Him even as He hath set His own affections upon Thyself. I testify that His love is Thy love, and His self Thy self, and His beauty Thy beauty, and His Cause Thy Cause.
