Source (Arabic)
اَيْ رَبِّ لا تَدَعْ عِبادَكَ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ فَاجْذِبْهُمْ بِآياتِكَ إِلى مَطْلَعِ وَحْيِكَ وَمَشْرِقِ إِلْهامِكَ وَمَخْزَنِ عِلْمِكَ، أَنْتَ الَّذِيْ شَهِدَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَاقْتِدارِكَ وَما مَنَعَكَ مِنْ اَمْرِكَ ما خُلِقَ فِي أَرْضِكَ وَسَمائِكَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Leave not Thy servants to themselves, O my Lord! Draw them through the influence of Thine utterances unto the Dawning-Place of Thine inspiration, and to the Fountain of Thy Revelation, and to the Treasury of Thy wisdom. Thou art He to Whose strength and power all things have testified, Whose Purpose nothing whatsoever of all that hath been created in Thy heaven and on Thy earth hath been able to frustrate.
