Source (Arabic)
قل سبحانک يا من اعترف الأولياء بعجزهم عند ظهورات قدرتک و أقرّ الأصفيآء بفنائهم لدی بروزات أنوار شمس بقائک أسئَلک بالإسم الّذی به فتح باب السّمآء و انجذب الملأ الأعلی بأن تؤيّدنی علی خدمتک فی أيّامک و توفّقنی علی العمل بما أمرتنی به فی کتابک أی ربّ أنت تعلم ما عندی و لا أعلم ما عندک إنّک أنت العليم الخبير.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Say: Glory be to Thee Who hast caused all the holy Ones to confess their helplessness before the manifold revelations of Thy might, and every Prophet to acknowledge His nothingness at the effulgence of Thine abiding glory. I beseech Thee, by Thy name that hath unlocked the gates of Heaven and filled with ecstasy the Concourse on high, to enable me to serve Thee, in this Day, and to strengthen me to observe that which Thou didst prescribe in Thy Book. Thou knowest, O my Lord, what is in me; but I know not what is in Thee. Thou art the All-Knowing, the All-Informed.
