Source (Arabic)
بِمَا شَهِدَ بِهِ لِسَانُ أَمْرِكَ فِي مَلَكُوْتِ بَيَانِكَ وَجَبَرُوتِ عِلْمِكَ أَيْ رَبِّ أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ فِي هَذَا الْمَقَامِ كُلَّ مَا عِنْدَكَ لِإِثْبَاتِ فَقْرِي وَإِعْلَاءِ عَطَائِكَ وَغَنَائِكَ وَإِظْهَارِ عَجْزِي وَإِبْرَازِ قُدْرَتِكَ وَإِقْتِدَارِكَ.
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْوَهَّابُ. لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْحَاكِمُ فِي الْمَبْدَاءِ وَالْمَآبِ.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Thou seest, O my God, how my spirit hath been stirred up within my limbs and members, in its longing to worship Thee, and in its yearning to remember Thee and extol Thee; how it testifieth to that whereunto the Tongue of Thy Commandment hath testified in the kingdom of Thine utterance and the heaven of Thy knowledge. I love, in this state, O my Lord, to beg of Thee all that is with Thee, that I may demonstrate my poverty, and magnify Thy bounty and Thy riches, and may declare my powerlessness, and manifest Thy power and Thy might.
