Source (Arabic)
سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ يا إِلهِي بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِيْ بِهِ اخْضَرَّتْ سِدْراتُ رِضْوانِ أَمْرِكَ، وَأَثْمَرَتْ بِفَواكهِ القُدْسِ فِي هذَا الرَّبِيِعِ الَّذِيْ فِيهِ هَبَّتْ رَوائِحُ مَوَاهِبِكَ وَأَلطافِكَ، وَأُوتِيَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ ما قُدِّرَ لَهُ فِي مَلَكُوتِ قَضَائِكَ وَجَبَرُوتِ تَقْدِيرِكَ، بِأَنْ لا تَجْعَلَنِيْ بَعِيدًا عَنْ سَاحَةِ قُدْسِكَ وَلا مَحْرُومًا عَنْ حَرَمِ عِزِّ تَوْحِيْدِكَ وَكَعْبَةِ تَفْرِيدِكَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Magnified, O Lord my God, be Thy Name, whereby the trees of the garden of Thy Revelation have been clad with verdure, and been made to yield the fruits of holiness during this Springtime when the sweet savors of Thy favors and blessings have been wafted over all things, and caused them to bring forth whatsoever had been preordained for them in the Kingdom of Thine irrevocable decree and the Heaven of Thine immutable purpose. I beseech Thee by this very Name not to suffer me to be far from the court of Thy holiness, nor debarred from the exalted sanctuary of Thy unity and oneness.
