Source (Arabic)
وَفِّقْ يا إِلهِي عِبادَكَ عَلَى نُصْرَةِ أَمْرِكَ ثُمَّ أَشْرِبْهُمْ ما تَحْيى بِهِ قُلُوبُهُمْ فِي مَمْلَكَتِكَ لِئَلا يَمْنَعَهُمْ شَيْءٌ عَنْ ذِكْرِكَ وَثَنائِكَ، يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ أَماكِنِهِمْ بِاسْمِكَ وَيَدْعُونَ الكُلَّ إِلَيْكَ، أَيْ رَبِّ طَهِّرْ وُجُوهَهُمْ عَنِ التَّوَجُّهِ إِلى غَيْرِكَ وَآذانَهُمْ عَنْ إِصْغآءِ كَلِماتِ الَّذِيْنَ أَعْرَضُوا عَنْ جَمالِكَ وَكَفَرُوا بِآياتِكَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Assist Thou Thy servants, O my God, to help Thy Cause, and give them to drink what will quicken their hearts in Thy realm, lest anything hinder them from remembering Thee and from extolling Thy virtues, that they may quit their homes in Thy name, and summon all the multitudes unto Thee. Guard their faces, O my God, from turning to any one save Thee, and their ears from hearkening unto the sayings of all such as have turned away from Thy beauty and repudiated Thy signs.
