Source (Arabic)
سُبْحَانَكَ يا إِلهِي تَرَى عِبادَكَ الأَخْيارَ تَحْتَ أَيادِي الأَشْرارِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِاسْمِكَ المُخْتارِ وَأَنْكَرُوا عَظَمَتَكَ وَاخْتِيارَكَ وَقُدْرَتَكَ وَاقْتِدارَكَ، وَيَقُولُونَ ما قالَهُ اليَهُودُ مِنْ قَبْلُ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Praised be Thou, O my God! Thou seest how Thy righteous servants have fallen into the hands of the wicked doers, who have disbelieved in Thy name, the Unconstrained, and denied Thy majesty, and Thine unrestrained authority, and Thy strength, and Thy sovereign might. Their mouths utter what the mouths of the Jews uttered aforetime.
