Prayers and Meditations — Paragraph 476

Source (Arabic)

أَيْ رَبِّ فَأَخْرِجْ مِنْ شَفَتَيْ مَشِيَّتِكَ كَلِمَةً وَسَخِّرْ بِها مَنْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ كُلِّها، إِلى مَتَى يا إِلهِي تَنْظُرُ وَتَصْبِرُ قَدْ أَخَذَتِ الظُّلْمَةُ كُلَّ الجِهاتِ وَكادَ أَنْ تَنْعَدِمَ آثارُكَ فِي

Translation

Unseal the lips of Thy will, O my Lord, and let a word proceed therefrom that shall subject unto itself the world and all that is therein. How long shalt Thou behold these things and tarry, O my God? Darkness hath enveloped the whole earth, and Thy tokens are ready to be blotted out throughout Thy realm.
