Source (Arabic)
وا البِلادَ، لَيَتَحَيَّرُونَ فِيْ الْجَوابِ، وَأَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ يا إِلهِي بِأَنَّ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ ذَنْبٌ إِلاَّ حُبُّكَ، لِذا أَخَذُوهُمْ وَفَرَّقُوهُمْ فِيْ الأَكْنَافِ أَهْلُ الاعْتِسافِ، وَلَوْ أَنِّي يا إِلهِي أَعْلَمُ بِأَنَّكَ لا تُنَزِّلُ عَلَى أَحِبَّتِكَ إِلاَّ ما هُو خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ، وَلكِنْ أَسْئَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمُهَيْمِنِ عَلَى الأَشْياءِ بِأَنْ تَبْعَثَ لِنُصْرَتِهِمْ مَنْ يَحْفَظُهُمْ عَنِ الأَعْدآءِ إِظْهارًا لِفَضْلِكَ وَإِبْرازًا لِقُدْرَتِكَ وَإِنَّكَ
Translation
Thou knowest full well, O my God, that their only crime is to have loved Thee. For this reason have their oppressors laid hold on them, and scattered them abroad. Aware as I am, O my God, that Thou wilt send down upon Thy servants only what is good for them, I nevertheless beseech Thee, by Thy name which overshadoweth all things, to raise up, for their assistance and as a sign of Thy grace and as an evidence of Thy power, those who will keep them safe from all their adversaries.
