أَيْ ربِّ أَسْئَلُكَ بِاسْمِ الَّذِيْ يَطُوفُ فِي حَولِهِ مَلَكُوتُ الأَسْمآءِ بِأَنْ تُؤَيِّدَ أَحِبَّائَكَ عَلَى إِعْلآءِ كَلِمَتِكَ بَيْنَ عِبادِكَ وَذِكْرِكَ بَيْنَ بَرِيَّتِكَ لِتَأْخُذَ جَذَباتُ وَحْيِكَ مَنْ فِي أَرْضِكَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I beseech Thee, O my Lord, by the name of Him round Whom circleth in adoration the kingdom of Thy names, that Thou wilt graciously assist them that are dear to Thee to glorify Thy word among Thy servants, and to shed abroad Thy praise amidst Thy creatures, so that the ecstasies of Thy revelation may fill the souls of all the dwellers of Thine earth.
