أَسْئَلُكَ بِآخِرِيَّتِكَ الَّتِي كانَتْ نَفْسَ أَوَّلِيَّتِكَ وَظَاهِرِيَّتِكَ الَّتِيْ كانَتْ عَيْنَ باطِنِيَّتِكَ بِأَنْ تَجْعَلَ أَحِبَّائَكَ وَأَبْنائَهُمْ وَذَوِيْ قَرابَتِهِمْ مَظاهِرَ تَقْدِيْسِكَ بَيْنَ خَلْقِكَ وَمَطالِعَ تَنْزِيهِكَ بَيْنَ عِبادِكَ
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I beseech Thee by Thy Lastness which is the same as Thy Firstness, and by Thy Revelation which is identical with Thy Concealment, to grant that they who are dear to Thee, and their children, and their kindred, may become the revealers of Thy purity amidst Thy creatures, and the manifestations of Thy sanctity amongst Thy servants.
