Source (Arabic)
فَسُبْحانَكَ سُبْحَانَكَ أَنْتَ الَّذِيْ لَمْ تَزَلْ كُنْتَ سُلْطانَ المُمْكِناتِ وَمُحَرِّكَها وَلا تَزالُ تَكُونَنَّ مَلِيكَ المَوْجُوداتِ وَمُدَبِّرَها، فَسُبْحَانَكَ يا إِلهِي إِنْ لَمْ تَرْحَمْ عِبادَكَ فَمَنْ يَرْحَمْهُمْ، وَإِنْ لَنْ تَأخُذَ أَيْدِي أَحِبَّائِكَ فَمَنْ يَأْخُذْهُمْ ؟
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Glorified, immensely glorified art Thou! Thou art He Who from everlasting hath been the King of the entire creation and its Prime Mover, and Thou wilt to everlasting remain the Lord of all created things and their Ordainer. Glorified art Thou, O my God! If Thou ceasest to be merciful unto Thy servants, who, then, will show mercy unto them; and if Thou refusest to succor Thy loved ones, who is there that can succor them?
