Source (Arabic)
سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ يا إِلهِي أَنْتَ الَّذِيْ بِعِزَّتِكَ تَعَزَّزَ أُولُوا العِزَّةِ وَالإِعْزَازِ، وَبِقُدْرَتِكَ اسْتَقْدَرَ أُولُوا القُدْرَةِ وَالاقْتِدارِ وَبِأَمْرِكَ اسْتَعْلَى مَظَاهِرُ أَمْرِكَ عَلَى مَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاءِ، ومِنْ كَوْثَرِ مِدَادِكَ اسْتَحْيَتْ أَفْئِدَةُ أَهْلِ مَلَكُوتِ الإِنْشآءِ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Praised be Thou, O Lord my God! Thou art He the excellence of Whose glory hath exalted them who are the sources of authority and honor, the potency of Whose might hath empowered them who are the fountainheads of energy and strength, the dominion of Whose will hath elevated the Exponents of Thy Cause above all that are in heaven and on earth, and the life-giving effusions of Whose Pen have quickened the souls of the denizens of the kingdom of creation.
