Source (Arabic)
بِأَنْ تَرْزُقَ مَنْ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَيكَ كَوْثَرَ عَطَائِكَ لِيَنْقَطِعَهُ عَمَّا دُونَكَ وَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ المُقْتَدِرُ العَزِيزُ القَدِيرُ.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I implore Thee to supply whosoever hath sought Thee with the living waters of Thy bounty, that they may rid him of all attachment to any one but Thee. Thou art, verily, the Omniscient, the All-Glorious, the Almighty.
