Source (Arabic)
الها معبودا ملكا مقصودا بچه لسان ترا شكر نمايم، غافل بودم آگاهم فرمودی، معرض بودم بر اقبال تأييد نمودی، مرده بودم از آب حيات زندگى بخشيدی، پژمرده بودم از كوثر بيان كه از قلم رحمن جارى شده تازگى عطا كردی،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
My God, my Adored One, my King, my Desire! What tongue can voice my thanks to Thee? I was heedless, Thou didst awaken me. I had turned back from Thee, Thou didst graciously aid me to turn towards Thee. I was as one dead, Thou didst quicken me with the water of life. I was withered, Thou didst revive me with the heavenly stream of Thine utterance which hath flowed forth from the Pen of the All-Merciful.
