Source (Arabic)
تَرَى يا إِلهِي فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ مَطْلَعَ أَسْمائِكَ تَحْتَ سُيُوفِ أَعْدائِكَ وَفِي هذِهِ الحالَةِ يُنادِيْ مَنْ فِي أَرْضِكَ وَسَمائِكَ وَيَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَيْكَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Thou dost consider, O my God, how He Who is the Manifestation of Thy names is in these days threatened by the swords of Thine adversaries. In such a state He crieth out and summoneth all the inhabitants of Thine earth and the denizens of Thy heaven unto Thee.
