Source (Arabic)
يا إِلهِي أَيِّدْنِي فِي أَيَّامِ ظُهُورِ مَظْهَرِ أَمْرِكَ وَمَطْلَعِ وَحْيِكَ لأَخْرُقَ الحُجُباتِ الَّتِيْ مَنَعَتْنِيْ عَنِ الإِقْبالِ إِلَيْكَ وَالانْغِماسِ فِي بَحْرِ عِرْفانِكَ، خُذْ يَدِي بِأَيادِي قُدْرَتِكَ ثُمَّ اجْعَلْنِيْ مُنْجَذِبًا مِنْ نَغَمَاتِ وَرْقاءِ أَحَدِيَّتِكَ بِحَيْثُ لا أَرَى فِي الوُجُودِ إِلاَّ طَلْعَتَكَ يا مَقْصُودُ وَلا فِي الشُّهُودِ إِلاَّ ظُهُوراتِ قُدْرَتِكَ يا وَدُودُ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Graciously assist me, O my God, in the days of the Manifestation of Thy Cause and of the Dayspring of Thy Revelation, to tear asunder the veils which have hindered me from recognizing Thee, and from immersing myself beneath the ocean of Thy knowledge. Hold Thou me with the hands of Thy power, and grant that I may be so carried away by the sweet melodies of the Dove of Thy oneness, that I will cease to regard in all creation any face except Thy face, O Thou the Goal of my desire, and will recognize in the visible world naught else save the evidences of Thy might, O Thou Who art the God of mercy!
