Source (Arabic)
أَيْ رَبِّ تَرَى أَنَّهُمْ أَقَرُّوا وَاعْتَرَفُوا بِكُلِّ ما أَنزَلْتَهُ فِيْ أَلْواحِكَ، أَيْ رَبِّ أَشْرِبْهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ عَطائِكَ كَوْثَرَ بَقائِكَ ثُمَّ اكْتُبْ لَهُمْ أَجْرَ مَنِ انْغَمَسَ فِيْ بَحْرِ لِقائِكَ وَفازَ بِرَحِيقِ وِصالِكَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Thou seest, O my Lord, how they have recognized and confessed whatsoever Thou hast revealed in Thy Scriptures. Give them to drink, O my Lord, from the hands of Thy graciousness the waters of Thine eternity. Write down, then, for them the recompense ordained for him that hath immersed himself in the ocean of Thy presence, and attained unto the choice wine of Thy meeting.
