Source (Arabic)
لَكَ الْحَمْدُ يَا إِلَهَنَا بِمَا أَنْزلْتَ لَنَا مَا يُقَرِّبُنَا إِلَيْكَ وَيَرْزُقُنَا كُلَّ خَيْرٍ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كُتُبِكَ وَزُبُرِكَ أَيْ رَبِّ نَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنْ تَحْفَظَنَا مِنْ جُنُوْدِ الظُّنُوْنِ وَالْأَوْهَامِ. إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْعَلَّامُ.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Praise be unto Thee, O our God, that Thou hast sent down unto us that which draweth us nigh unto Thee, and supplieth us with every good thing sent down by Thee in Thy Books and Thy Scriptures. Protect us, we beseech Thee, O my Lord, from the hosts of idle fancies and vain imaginations. Thou, in truth, art the Mighty, the All-Knowing.
