َ بِهِ مَنْ فِي الآخِرَةِ وَالأُولی، أَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَسْئَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِيْ جَعَلْتَهُ سُلْطانَ الأَسْمآءِ وَبِهِ انْجَذَبَ مَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَالسَّمآءِ أَنْ تُرِيَنِيْ شَمْسَ جَمالِكَ وَتَرْزُقَنِيْ خَمْرَ بَيانِكَ، تَرَانِي يا إِلهِي مُتَمَسِّكًا بِاسْمِكَ الأَقْدَ
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I beseech Thee, O my God, by Thy Name which Thou hast made the King of Names, by which all who are in heaven and all who are on earth have been enraptured, to enable me to gaze on the Daystar of Thy Beauty, and to supply me with the wine of Thine utterance. Thou seest me, O my God, holding to Thy Name, the Most Holy, the Most Luminous, the Most Mighty, the Most Great, the Most Exalted, the Most Glorious, and clinging to the hem of the robe to which have clung all in this world and in the world to come.
