Prayers and Meditations — Paragraph 422

Source (Arabic)

بِأَنْ تُصَبِّرَ البَهآءَ فِي هذِهِ المُصِيْباتِ الَّتِيْ فِيها نَاحَتْ أَهْلُ مَلإِ الأَعْلَی، وَبَكَتْ أَهْلُ جَنَّةِ المَأْوَی، وَأَخَذَتْ كُلَّ الوُجُوهِ غُبارُ الصَّفْرآءِ فِي هذا الحُزْنِ الَّذِيْ أَحَاطَ عِبادَ الَّذِينَ تَوَجَّهُوا إِلى شَطْرِ اسْمِكَ العَلِيِّ الأَعْلى لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ المُقْتَدِرُ المُتَعَالِ الغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ، فَيا إِلهِي كُلُّ العِبَادِ

Translation

And now I implore Thee, by the eternity of Thy Self, to enable me to be patient in these tribulations which have caused the Concourse on high to wail and the denizens of the everlasting Paradise to weep, and through which all faces have been covered with the tawny dust provoked by the anguish that hath seized such of Thy servants as have turned towards Thy Name, the Most Exalted, the Most High. No God is there but Thee, the Almighty, the Inaccessible, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Compassionate.
