Source (Arabic)
أَيْ رَبِّ قَدِ اشْتَدَّتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الأُمُورُ وَأَحَاطَهُمْ أَهْلُ الفُجُورِ فَأَرْسِلْ مِنْ سَمَاءِ أَمْرِكَ جُنُودَ غَيْبِكَ بِأَعْلامِ نَصْرِكَ لِيَنْصُرُنَّهُمْ فِي مَمْلَكَتِكَ وَيَحْفَظُنَّهُمْ مِنْ أَعْدائِكَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
They are sore pressed with cares, O my Lord, and are encompassed about by the wicked. Send down, therefore, from the heaven of Thy behest Thine invisible hosts, that, holding aloft the ensigns of Thy victory, they may help them in Thy land, and may shield them against Thine adversaries.
