Source (Arabic)
أَيْ رَبِّ فَاجْذِبْ أَفْئِدَتَهُمْ بِذِكْرِكَ ثُمَّ اجْعَلْهُمْ غَنِيًّا بِغَنائِكَ وَمُؤَيَّدًا عَلَى إِظْهارِ أَمْرِكَ بَيْنَ خَلْقِكَ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ المُعْطِ الغَفُورُ الرَّحيْمُ.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Let their hearts, O my Lord, be carried away by Thy remembrance, and their souls enriched by Thy riches, and their wills strengthened to proclaim Thy Cause amidst Thy creatures. Thou art, verily, the Great Giver, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Compassionate.
