بِأَنْ تُؤَيِّدَ أَحِبَّائَكَ عَلَى نُصرَتِكَ ثُمَّ اجْعَلْهُمْ فِي كُلِّ الأَحْوالِ ناظِرًا إِلى وَجْهِكَ ثُمَّ اكْتُبْ لَهُمْ ما تَفْرَحُ بِهِ القُلُوبُ وَتَقَرُّ بِهِ العُيُونُ، إِنَّكَ
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I implore Thee, O my Lord, by Thy surpassing majesty and Thine Ancient Name, to enable Thy loved ones to assist Thee. Direct, then, continually their faces towards Thy face, and write down for them what will cause all hearts to exult and all eyes to be gladdened.
