هِ مَنْ فِي الآخِرَةِ وَالأُولی، أَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْئَلُكَ بِمَظْهَرِ اسْمِكَ المَحْبُوبِ الَّذِيْ بِهِ احْتَرَقَتْ أَكْبادُ العُشَّاقِ وَطارَتْ أَفْئِدَةُ مَنْ فِي الآفاقِ أَنْ تُوَفِّقَنِي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ بَيْنَ خَلْقِكَ وَثَنائِكَ بَيْنَ بَرِيَّتِكَ، ت
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I beseech Thee, O my God, by the Manifestation of Thy Name, the Well-Beloved, through Whom the hearts of Thy lovers were consumed and the souls of all that dwell on earth have soared aloft, to aid me to remember Thee amongst Thy creatures, and to extol Thee amidst Thy people. 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.
