Source (Arabic)
فَأَنْزِلْ عَلَيْنَا يا إِلهِي ما يَنْبَغِي لِفَضْلِكَ وَيَلِيقُ لِجُودِكَ، ثُمَّ اجْعَلْ يا إِلهِي حَياتَنا بِذِكْرِكَ وَمَماتَنا بِحُبِّكَ، ثُمَّ ارْزُقْنا لِقائَكَ فِي عَوالِمِكَ الَّتِيْ ما اطَّلَعَ بِها أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ نَفْسُكَ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ رَبُّنا وَرَبُّ العالَمِيْنَ وَإِلهَ مَنْ فِي السَّمَواتِ وَالأَرَضِينَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Rain down, then, upon us, O my God, that which beseemeth Thy grace and befitteth Thy bounty. Enable us, then, O my God, to live in remembrance of Thee and to die in love of Thee, and supply us with the gift of Thy presence in Thy worlds hereafter—worlds which are inscrutable to all except Thee. Thou art our Lord and the Lord of all worlds, and the God of all that are in heaven and all that are on earth.
