Source (Arabic)
أَيْ رَبِّ قَدِّرْ لِي ما يَنْفَعُنِي فِي كُلِّ عالَمٍ مِنْ عَوالِمِكَ ثُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي ما كَتَبْتَهُ لأصْفِياءِ خَلْقِكَ الَّذِينَ ما مَنَعَتْهُمْ فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةُ لائِمٍ وَلا شَماتَةُ مُشْرِكٍ وَلا إعْراضُ مُعْرِضٍ
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Do Thou ordain for me, O my Lord, what will profit me in every world of Thy worlds. Supply me, then, with what Thou hast written down for the chosen ones among Thy creatures, whom neither the blame of the blamer, nor the clamor of the infidel, nor the estrangement of such as have withdrawn from Thee, hath deterred from turning towards Thee.
