Source (Arabic)
أَنْتَ العَزِيْزُ المَنَّانُ لا تُخَيِّبُ مَنْ سَئَلَكَ وَلا تَمْنَعُ مَنْ أَرادَكَ قَدِّرْ لِي ما يَنْبَغِي لِسَمآءِ جُودِكَ وَبَحْرِ كَرَمِكَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ المُقْتَدِرُ القَدِيْرُ.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Thou disappointest no one who hath sought Thee, nor dost Thou keep back from Thee anyone who hath desired Thee. Ordain Thou for me what becometh the heaven of Thy generosity, and the ocean of Thy bounty. Thou art, verily, the Almighty, the Most Powerful.
