قُلُوبِ المُشْتاقِينَ بِمَظاهِرِ أَمْرِكَ وَمَهابِطِ وَحْيِكَ وَمَطالِعِ عِزِّكَ وَمَخازِنِ عِلْمِكَ، بِأَنْ لا تَجْعَلَنِي مَحْرُومًا عَنْ بَيْتِكَ الحَرامِ وَالمَشْعَرِ وَالمَقامِ، أَيْ رَبِّ وَفِّقْنِي عَلَى الوُرُودِ فِي ساحَةِ قُدْسِهِ وَالطَّوافِ فِي حَوْلِهِ وَالقِيامِ تِلْقاءَ بابِهِ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الَّذِيْ لَمْ
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I beseech Thee, O Thou Who art the Beloved of the hearts which long for Thee, by the Manifestations of Thy Cause and the Daysprings of Thine inspiration, and the Exponents of Thy majesty, and the Treasuries of Thy knowledge, not to suffer me to be deprived of Thy holy Habitation, Thy Fane and Thy Tabernacle. Aid me, O my Lord, to attain His hallowed court, and to circle round His person, and to stand humbly at His door.
