يا خالِقَ الأَرْضِ وَالسَّمآءِ وَمُوجِدَ الأَشْيآءِ بِأَنْ تَجْذِبَ العِبادَ بِنَفَحاتِ قَمِيصِ وَحْيِكَ وَإِلْهامِكَ وَتُبَلِّغَهُمْ إِلى سُرادِقِ أَمْرِكَ وَاقْتِدارِكَ، لَمْ تَزَلْ كُنْتَ مُقْتَدِرًا بِقَيُّومِيَّتِكَ وَلا تَزالُ تَكُونُ مُتَعالِيًا بِسُلْطانِكَ وَأُلُوهِيَّتِكَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I beseech Thee, O Thou Who art the Creator of earth and heaven and the Source of all things, to attract Thy servants through the fragrances of the Robe of Thine Inspiration and Thy Revelation, and to help them attain the Tabernacle of Thy behest and power. From eternity Thou wert by Thy transcendent might supreme over all things, and Thou wilt be exalted unto eternity in Thy Godhead and surpassing sovereignty.
