Source (Arabic)
يا إِلهِي عَلَى الَّذِيْ بِهِ ظَهَرَتْ أَسْرارُ رُبُوبِيَّتِكَ، ثُمَّ اسْتَعْلَتْ ظُهُوراتُ أُلُوهِيَّتِكَ وَبَرَزَتْ لَئالِئُ عِلْمِكَ وَحِكْمَتِكَ وَنُشِرَتْ آثارُكَ وَفُصِّلَتْ كَلِمَتُكَ وَلاحَ وَجْهُكَ وَحُقِّقَ سُلْطانُكَ وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ أَقْبَلُوا إِلَيْهِ خالِصِينَ لِوَجْهِكَ، ثُمَّ أَنْزِلْ يا إِلهِي عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ بَدائِعِ رَحْمَتِكَ ما يَلِيقُ لِحَضْرَتِكَ وَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ المُقْتَدِرُ المُهَيْمِنُ العَزِيزُ القَيُّومُ.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Do Thou bless, O Lord my God, the One through Whom the mysteries of Thine omnipotence have been disclosed, through Whom the revelations of Thy divinity have been glorified, through Whom the goodly pearls of Thy knowledge and wisdom have been uncovered, through Whom Thy signs and tokens have been noised abroad, through Whom Thy word hath been set forth with clearness, through Whom the light of Thy countenance hath shone forth and the power of Thy sovereignty been established. Bless Thou all those also who, wholly for Thy sake, have turned towards Thee. Send down, moreover, upon Him and them such of Thy wondrous mercies as may well beseem Thy highness. Thou art, verily, the Almighty, the Help in Peril, the All-Glorious, the Self-Subsisting.
