Source (Arabic)
لسَّفِينَةِ الَّتِيْ بِها ظَهَرَ سُلْطانُ مَشِيَّتِكَ وَنُفُوذُ إِرادَتِكَ وَتَمُرُّ بِقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَى البَرِّ وَالبَحْرِ بِأَنْ لا تَأْخُذَنِي
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Thou hearest, O my God, my sighs and my groaning, and beholdest my powerlessness, and my poverty, and my misery, and my woes, and my wretchedness. I swear by Thy might! I have wept with such a weeping that I have been unable to make mention of Thee, or to extol Thee, and cried with such a bitter cry that every mother in her bereavement was bewildered at me, and forgot her own anguish and the sighs she had uttered.
