Source (Arabic)
يرُ وَأَنْتَ الغَنِيُّ قَدْ تَوَجَّهْتُ إِلَيْكَ مُنْقَطِعًا عَمَّا سِواكَ، أَسْئَلُكَ بِأَنْ لا تَحْرِمَنِي مِنْ نَفَحاتِ رَحْمَةِ رَحْمانِيَّتِكَ وَلا تَم
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I am poor, O my Lord, and Thou art the Rich. I have set my face towards Thee, and detached myself from all but Thee. Deprive me not, I implore Thee, of the breezes of Thy tender mercy, and withhold not from me what Thou didst ordain for the chosen among Thy servants.
