Source (Arabic)
إِذًا يا إِلهِي وَمَحْبُوبِي فَأَلْبِسْها بِسُلْطانِ عِنايَتِكَ قَمِيصَ بَرْدِكَ وَشِفائِكَ، ثُمَّ أَشْرِبْها مِنْ كَأْسِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَأَلْطافِكَ، ثُمَّ احْفَظْها عَنْ كُلِّ داءٍ وَسَقَمٍ وَوَجَعٍ وَعِلَّةٍ وَعَنْ كُلِّ ما يَكْرَهُهُ رِضاكَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Attire her, by Thy sovereignty and Thy loving-kindness, O my God and my Beloved, with the raiment of Thy balm and Thy healing, and make her quaff of the cup of Thy mercy and Thy favors. Protect her, moreover, from every affliction and ailment, from all pain and sickness, and from whatsoever may be abhorrent unto Thee.
