Source (Arabic)

ِواكَ، وَلكِنْ يا إِلهِي أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَأْمُرَنِي بِإِظْهارِ ما هُوَ المَكْنُونُ فِي عِلْمِكَ لِيَطِيرُنَّ المُخْلِصُونَ مِن الاشْتِياقِ إِلى هَوآءِ أَحَدِيَّتِكَ وَيَضْطَرِبُنَّ المُشْرِكُونَ وَيَرْجِعُنَّ إِلى أَسْفَلِ الجَحِيمِ المَقَامِ الَّذيْ قَدَّرْتَ لَهُمْ بِسُلْطَانِكَ، أَيْ رَبِّ تَرَى

Translation

What I desire, however, O my God, is that Thou shouldst bid me unveil the things which lie hid in Thy knowledge, so that they who are wholly devoted to Thee may, in their longing for Thee, soar up into the atmosphere of Thy oneness, and the infidels may be seized with trembling and may return to the nethermost fire, the abode ordained for them by Thee through the power of Thy sovereign might.
