أَيْ رَبِّ تَرَى ما وَرَدَ عَلَيَّ فِي أَيَّامِكَ أَسْئَلُكَ بِمَشْرِقِ أَسْمائِكَ وَمَطْلَعِ صِفاتِكَ أَنْ تُقَدِّرَ لِيْ ما يَجْعَلُنِيْ قائِمًا عَلَى خِدْمَتِكَ وَناطِقًا بِثَنائِكَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ المُقْتَدِرُ القَدِيْرُ وَبِالإِجابَةِ جَدِيْرٌ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Thou beholdest, O my Lord, the things which have befallen me in Thy days. I entreat Thee, by Him Who is the Dayspring of Thy names and the Dawning-Place of Thine attributes, to ordain for me what will enable me to arise to serve Thee and to extol Thy virtues. Thou art, verily, the Almighty, the Most Powerful, Who art wont to answer the prayers of all men!
