Source (Arabic)
الأَسْنى وَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ فَعَّالٌ لِمَا تَشآءُ، أَيْ رَبِّ لا تَحْرِمْ أَحِبَّائَكَ مِنْ نَفَحاتِ هذا اليَوْمِ الَّذِيْ فِيْهِ ظَهَرَتْ أَسْرارُ اسْمِكَ القَيُّومِ وَما كانَ مَخْزُونًا فِي خَزآئِنِ عِلْمِكَ، أَيْ رَبِّ هذا يَوْمٌ اهْتَزَّ فِيهِ كُلُّ ذَرَّةٍ مِنَ الذَّرَّاتِ وَتَقُولُ يا مُنْزِلَ ا
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Grant, O my Lord, that they who have ascended unto Thee may repair unto Him Who is the most exalted Companion, and abide beneath the shadow of the Tabernacle of Thy majesty and the Sanctuary of Thy glory. Sprinkle, O my Lord, upon them from the ocean of Thy forgiveness what will make them worthy to abide, so long as Thine own sovereignty endureth, within Thy most exalted kingdom and Thine all-highest dominion. Potent art Thou to do what pleaseth Thee.
