وَغِياثَ المَنْجُودِ، بِأَنْ تُوَفِّقَنا عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَإِظْهارِ أَمْرِكَ وَالقِيامِ عَلَى نُصْرَتِكَ، وَلَوْ إِنَّا ضُعَفآءُ وَلكِنْ تَمَسَّكْنا بِاسْمِكَ القَوِيِّ القَدِيرِ، صَلِّ يا إِلهِي عَلَى
Shoghi Effendi Translation
We entreat Thee, O Thou Who art the Cloud of Bounty and the Succorer of the distressed, that Thou wilt aid us to remember Thee, and to make known Thy Cause, and to arise to help Thee. Though all weakness, we yet have clung to Thy Name, the Most Powerful, the Almighty.
