Source (Arabic)
الها معبودا مقصودا كريما رحيما جانها از تو و اقتدارها در قبضه قدرت تو، هر كه را بلند كنى از مَلَك بگذرد و بمقام وَرَفَعْنَاهُ مَكانًا عَلِيًّا رسد، و هر كه را بياندازى از خاك پست تر بلكه هيچ از او بهتر،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
My God, the Object of my adoration, the Goal of my desire, the All-Bountiful, the Most Compassionate! All life is of Thee and all power lieth within the grasp of Thine omnipotence. Whosoever Thou exaltest is raised above the angels, and attaineth the station: “Verily, We uplifted him to a place on high!”; and whosoever Thou dost abase is made lower than dust, nay, less than nothing.
