Source (Arabic)
ما يَجْعَلُنِي مُنْقَطِعًا عَنْ دُونِكَ، يا إِلهِي تَرَانِي مُتَوَجِّهًا إِلَيْكَ وَمُتَمَسِّكًا بِحَبْلِ إِفْضالِكَ أَنْزِلْ عَلَيَّ رَحْمَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ ثُمَّ اكْتُبْ لِيْ ما كَتَبْتَهُ لأَصْفِيائِكَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ المُقْتَدِرُ عَلَى ما تَشاءُ لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ الغَفُورُ الْكَرِيمُ.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I beseech Thee, moreover, O my God, to ordain for me what will make me rich enough to dispense with any one save Thee. Thou seest me, O my God, with my face turned towards Thee, and my hands clinging to the cord of Thy grace. Send down upon me Thy mercy, and write down for me what Thou hast written down for Thy chosen ones. Powerful art Thou to do what pleaseth Thee. No God is there but Thee, the Ever-Forgiving, the All-Bountiful.
