أَسْئَلُكَ يا مالِكَ المُلُوكِ وَراحِمَ المَمْلُوكِ بِأَنْ تُقَدِّرَ لَهُمْ خَيْرَ الدُّنْيا وَالآخِرَةِ ثُمَّ اكْتُبْ لَهُمْ ما لا عَرَفَهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ ثُمَّ اجْعَلْهُمْ مِنَ الَّذِينَ طافُوا حَوْلَكَ وَيَطُوفُونَ حَوْلَ عَرْشِكَ فِيْ كُلِّ عالَمٍ مِنْ عَوالِمِكَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I implore Thee, O Thou the King of kings and the Pitier of the downtrodden, to ordain for them the good of this world and of the world to come. Write down for them, moreover, what none of Thy creatures hath discovered, and number them with those who have circled round Thee, and who move about Thy throne in every world of Thy worlds.
